Howdy, >Hi Saphira
I don't think anyone has ever spelled my name that way before ;) Here's the process: 1) In your server.xml, look for the AccessLogValue. It will have an attribute pattern="common". Change this to pattern="combined" to get more information. (This step is optional, but we do it). The difference between the common and combined patterns is defined here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/valve.html (combined basically adds the referrer and user-agent fields to each log entry). 2) So now you have a bunch of files like localhost_access_log.yyyy-mm-dd.txt in your $CATALINA_HOME/logs directory. While a bunch of analyzers, including http-analyze which I use, work with sets of files, I've found it better to merge all the files into one big time-sorted files. I use mergeLog for this. Download it at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mergelog/ An alternative I've also used is LogSorter. It's in java, so you can compile it yourself. Directions and download are here: http://ostermiller.org/webalizer/ (Also a rationale as to why merging the log files is better). 3) Now I have one big access log file, sorted by time. For us, this file is in the hundreds of MBs in size. I run http-analyze (2.01, the free version), obtained from: http://www.netstore.de/Supply/http-analyze/download.html It's very fast, and outputs a ton of good information but it's very easy to navigate the information. It's also easy to package, post to a web site for others to see, etc. Does that answer your question?
