They are the dates from the sample logfile.log in the analog folder.
That indicates that Analog wasn't able to read the logfile you specified
in your LOGFILE entry. You will probably need to specify the full
pathname to your logfile, and enclose the lot in quotes if there are
spaces in the path.

If you're not going to open a command prompt, and run Analog from the
command line where you can see any errors or warnings that it generates,
then you should specify

ERRFILE C:\errors.txt

and then open C:\errors.txt in notepad after Analog runs.

That's not true. There is always a DNSLOCKFILE.

There shouldn't be a DNS lock file, unless you have a DNSLOCKFILE
directive in your configuration. And even if you do, it should be
deleted when Analog completes successfully. But you shouldn't need it if
you are running Analog on your desktop, and don't have to worry about
two copies of Analog writing to the same DNS file at the same time.

Use one of the DNS helper apps and set Analog to use DNS READ.

Re: [analog-help] First-time user

2002-06-13 Thread analog-help

Thanks for all the replies. I've added these two lines to analog.cfg:

DNSFILE dnscache
DNS WRITE

When I run Analog for the first time, it would say:
[C:\...] analog.exe: analog version 5.23/Win32
[C:\...] analog.exe: Warning F: Failed to open DNS input file
[C:\...]dnscache: ignoring it

When I run Analog for the second time, it would say:
[C:\...] analog.exe: analog version 5.23/Win32
[C:\...] analog.exe: Warning F: DNS lock file [C:\...]dnslock already
exists: backing off to DNS LOOKUP

If I haven't mistaken, DNS LOOKUP is just to look up DNS but no DNS file is
created.  Then that means that every time I will have to look up the DNS
when analyzing the weekly logs?  BTW, the DNS LOOKUP works properly.

No, sorry. It works on my Win2K machine, but I always have to specify
/Y. If I don't, it gives "Unable to listen to port 53 on main socket 'No
Error'". I don't use /G because I analyse logs for lots of different
servers, and usually specify them on the command line, not in a cfg
file.

That dnsfile.txt is created by AnalogX Qdns.exe. It contains a DNS Cache 
file. Here you make analog use that DNS file instead of using it´s own

I used QDNS for years on WIN98 with a simple link like this:
E:\analog\QDNS.EXE /G ccc-txt.cfg
I never specified a DNS server and it worked no problem.

But after I moved to a lot faster WIN2000 pro machine I can't do anything with 
QDNS. The old style links either produce a quick flash, no work done, or they 
make it load the new IPs, none of which gets resolved, though.

I tried the more complete commandline you just suggested and this is what I get in 
return:

**

AnalogX QuickDNS (QDNS) - Quick DNS version 2.00 (Release) 

The instruction at 0x00406ee1 referenced memory at 0x22303dcf.
The memory could not be read.

***

Any idea about what it's saying?

Thanks, ciao

If you only have a couple of hundred hosts, just pick one of the DNS
server addresses and use it. If you have huge log files, with tens of
thousands of hosts in them, then you should be aware that QuickDNS can
really hammer a DNS server, so, in theory you should check with your
network administrator before doing this. If one of the DNS servers is
also doing a couple of other tasks, s/he might prefer you to use a
different DNS server, or possibly one server is running on newer
hardware, or a different OS, or there might even be a "spare" DNS server
in place that isn't advertised. Local knowledge is the only answer in
this situation.

Or you could schedule your first run to occur at an off peak time, to
minimise disruption.

(Note that I don't remember any reports of anyone bringing down a DNS
server using QuickDNS, but people with really huge log files tend to
have fairly big servers, and fairly robust network infrastructures. But
if you're a new Analog user suddenly looking at 3 years worth of web
logs, you might be tempted to over reach your networks abilities!)

> When did the configuration occur for DNS Servers?

Your machine is told about what DNS servers to use at the same time as
it gets it's IP address. That might be at bootup, if you are using BOOTP
or DHCP, or the information might be assigned to the machine when it was
set up. Again, your

You're really too good.  I was unaware of this.  Now, if there are > 1, do I
just pick one???  How were these assigned initially?  When did the
configuration occur for DNS Servers?

As far as I'm concerned, it's a bug in QDNS that it won't just use your
default DNS server, and requires you to specify one. But the author
never responded to that suggestion.

If you are on WinNT/Win2K/WinXP, open a command prompt, and type

IPCONFIG /ALL

Your DNS servers should be listed. If you are on Win9x, go to Start/Run
and enter WinIPCFG and click Run. Again, you should find your DNS
servers listed.

RE: [analog-help] First-time user

2002-06-13 Thread analog-help

You're awesome!  Thank you.  I'm starting to see that I'll just run a 3rd
party product to create my DNS file and I will do it to my log files each
time before I run Analog.  I'm told they work faster.  I'm looking at
QuickDNS.  The only thing I don't understand is, if the below is the syntax
for instance:

qdns /Y IPOFMYDNS /Z 0 /L PATHTOMYLOG\*.log /T 500 /D dnsfile.txt /S

what is the IPOFMYDNS?  Is it my home IP address?  I'm creating this DNS
file locally right now.

Thanks!

if you want Analog to resolve "fresh" IP addresses that aren't already
in the DNS cache file, then you have to use DNS WRITE.

DNS READ only reads existing records from the file. If you get new
visitors, coming from new IP addresses, then they won't be added to the
DNS file if you use DNS READ, and they will show up as unresolved
addresses in the Analog reports.

Because DNS lookups are slow (very slow), Analog caches DNS lookups in a
file that you specify. The next time you run Analog, it checks the file
before it does the DNS lookup, and only does a DNS lookup for new
addresses that aren't in the DNS file.

Because Analog is designed to work this way, there are a number of 3rd
party DNS helper applications that use different techniques to generate
the DNS cache file, and they can usually create the file in a few
minutes, whereas Analog can take hours. (This is not a criticism of
Analog. Because the Analog code is designed to run on many different
platforms, it uses generic techniques to do DNS lookups, and only does
them one at a time. Most of the helper apps resolve many addresses at
once, and are typically platform specific).

So when you are using a 3rd party app to create the DNS cache file, you
use

DNS READ
DSNFILE some.dns.file

Analog will only use the addresses in the dns file, and won't look up
any "fresh" addresses it encounters. If you specify DNS WRITE instead,
Analog will try to look any addresses that it can't find in the DNS
file, and write them to the file. If the file doesn't exist, and you
specify DNS WRITE, Analog will create it.

Can you tell me what is the IP OF YOUR DNS in the following:

qdns /Y IPOFMYDNS /Z 0 /L PATHTOMYLOG\*.log /T 500 /D dnsfile.txt /S

I see this in the help file:

  /Y [IP Address] Specify DNS server to use for lookups

But, what "DNS server" am I to use for lookups?

Please excuse my ignorance.  I am a programmer by nature, but like I said, I
am new to DNS lookups.  It doesn't seem like rocket science, I think I am
just ignorant of the topic.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I isntalled analogX QuickDNS and created a PERL script that runs in my 
win2k server. What this does is:

1.- Run analogx QDNS to create a DNS txt file with the addresses resolved.
2.- Run Analog!
3.- Run Report Magic.

Specify this in analog.cfg

#DNS Stuff

DNSFILE (c:\Progra~1\AnalogX\QuickDNS\dnsfile.txt)
DNS READ
DNSGOODHOURS 672

To execute QDNS, I use this command:

qdns /Y IPOFMYDNS /Z 0 /L PATHTOMYLOG\*.log /T 500 /D dnsfile.txt /S

Good luck!

Re: [analog-help] First-time user

2002-06-13 Thread analog-help

There may be other ways, but I believe that by adding something similar to the 
following to
your analog.cfg file it will resolve host names - this will slow down the processing
considerably though please note and you must be connected to the internet when 
processing for
it to work.

DNSFILE dnscache
DNSLOCKFILE dnsloc
DNS WRITE
DNSGOODHOURS 744
DNSBADHOURS 10

Hope that helps
