None of the entries captured by your FILEINCLUDE would be recognized as pages by default, so they wouldn't show up if you were only including Pages in the Request report. As I suggested yesterday, adding DIRSUFFIX index.cfm PAGEINCLUDE *.cfm should address this issue, as the .cfm files would be recognized as pages. > # The following lines are a sample of thelines included via a > CONFIGFILE directive (232 lines in all). > REQALIAS REGEXPI:035E592F-FA2A-267B-5AF64F16D156031F "[Page Title > Here]" > I appreciate if someone could help me understand these directives > better and how analog process them.

Spend less time reading the documentation, and more time running Analog with simple test files, and seeing how changes you make to the configuration change the output. It's really the quickest way to understand what's happening - you can make a change and run Analog in 10 seconds, rather than waiting a couple of hours for an response from the list. REQALIAS is an "output alias" - it simply changes what is displayed in the Request report. The change only occurs in the output, the actual data itself isn't modified. That means that if you REQALIAS two different lines to the same thing, you still have 2 entries in the Request Report, whereas if you FILEALIAS the same lines to the same thing, you only get one line in the Request Report, and the number of requests is the combined number of requests for both lines. Because your website uses "non-human readable" URLs for it's pages, REQALIAS is a good idea, because you can modify the actual information displayed in the Request report to reflect the real page displayed. so you might have REQALIAS 035E592F-FA2A-267B-5AF64F16D156031F "Green Widgets" REQALIAS 03DA02E6-FF9C-FE0B-37856AF28E60357A "Blue Widgets" REQALIAS 03DA0008-F3ED-1110-1AB00948167C27F2 "Shopping Cart" REQALIAS 03D9FE43-BCE3-8680-163785D70C2B83FF "Privacy Notice" (Note that the REGEXPI isn't necessary - you haven't specified a Regular expression). Your Request Report would then show the number of requests for Blue Widgets, the Shopping Cart, etc, and, if you used the PAGEINCLUDE comamnd above, the entries should be clickable (you might need to specify the BASEURL too).

That's pretty much the order described in http://analog.cx/docs/alias.html
("After analog has read each logfile entry, it then applies aliases to each of
the items") and http://analog.cx/docs/include.html ("After aliasing each item,
analog decides whether that item is wanted or not.")

[analog-help] Order of processing steps...
Thanks for all the help so far. Where can I find Analog's order of process. I'm trying to understand this in order to process URL parameters/querystring as I would like. As far as I can tell it must go like this: 1. Read line from Log file example: http://www.mydomain.com/?objectid=72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08E6 2. Process FILEALIAS directives example: FILEALIAS /*?*72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08E6 /* Translates this: http://www.mydomain.com/?objectid=72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08E6 to this: http://www.mydomain.com/72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08E6 3. Process FILEINCLUDE directives example: FILEINCLUDE http://www.mydomain.com/72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08E6 Is that correct? I plan on creating a configuration file that will list all the objectID that I want to include in the report. Maybe something like this will work: FILEINCLUDE http://www.mydomain.com/?objectid=72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08E6 FILEINCLUDE http://www.mydomain.com/?objectid=72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08E7 FILEINCLUDE http://www.mydomain.com/?objectid=72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08E8 FILEINCLUDE http://www.mydomain.com/?objectid=72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08E9 FILEINCLUDE http://www.mydomain.com/?objectid=72015D13-BDB7-CEBA-FCC75AAEAA3A08F0 If this posting does not make any sense, them I have got it all screwed up.

[analog-help] a little bit OT - doing backups
Sorry if this is not 100% analog centric. But I guess anyone in this list is familar with the issue: I recently resurrected a site which did not do any backups or at least the backup strategy was not very sophisticated. Now the system admin decided to do a nightly backup to a 40 GB tape or something. A full backup. It takes 4 hours and he stopped tomcat, apache and mysql for that. For 4 hours the site is now off net (!). Incredible. I'm trying to advise him to do either the backup without caring about locked files/open files. We have scheduled this for the coming nihjtly backup and want to watch the outcome. Is analog picky in any way about the log files? The dnsquery processes also take quite a while. But I believe, apache doesn't have to be stopped for this. (I'm talking about Windows XP, btw). Thanks for your attention. -- Christoph + | TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: |http://lists.meer.net/mailman/listinfo/analog-help | | Analog Documentation: http://analog.cx/docs/Readme.html | List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives | Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general +
