Analog V. 2.91 Beta1
just compiled for
OS/2 by Ivan Martinez

Ivan Martinez, from Brazil, just compiles the Analog 2.91 Beta1 for OS/2 and the executable files are available at:

http://www.os2brasil.com.br/arquivos/analog_2_91_beta1.exe

The full package (source and docs) is at:

http://www2.ecodigit.com.br/analog/anlg2911.zip

Analog is a free program to analyse the logfiles from your web server. It tells you which pages are most popular, which countries people are visiting from, which sites they tried to follow broken links from, etc.

The Readme for analog can be found in the file docs/Readme.html or at
http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/analog/docs/Readme.html


What's new in this version?

This page lists the new features in this version of analog. There's also another page about how to upgrade from older versions of analog, listing which commands have changed or been abolished.

Mended DNS cache file reading, which I broke in yesterday's release.

Directory report now works properly even if you use the second argument to the LOGFILE command.
Wild cards in filenames work properly on the Mac.
Other small bug fixes.
One speed improvement (I gain about 3%).
Several corrections and clarifications to the documentation.
2.90beta1 (27-Mar-98)
This version is a completely rewritten version. Every single line of code is new. The whole code is shorter despite considerable improvements in functionality. Several people have reported that it is significantly faster. The most important new features are:
Eleven new reports (Quarter-Hour, Five-Minute, Redirection, Failure, File Size,
Referring Site, Redirected Referrer, Failed Referrer, Virtual Host, User, User Failure).
Reads logfiles in user-customisable format.
Analyses user and virtual host data, and failed requests.
Hierarchical reports list subdirectories under directories, and allow analysis of
browser version numbers.
Faster sorting of long reports.
Floor and sort method made independent.
"Last date" column in reports, and can floor and sort by date.
Busiest time period at bottom of time reports.
"Not listed" line at bottom of other report.
Knows HTTP/1.1 status codes.
General Summary can go anywhere in the report.
General Summary and "Go To"s can now be turned on and off independently.
Status Code Report can be sorted in different ways.
Time offset commands.
Much better checking of invalid configuration options and invalid logfile lines.
Only reads logfiles it might need.
Improvements in DNS functionality: can now read the DNS file without further lookups: also, separate recheck intervals for successful and failed lookups.
Hash sizes now chosen automatically.
More flexible language support.
Mac version reads gzipped logfiles.
Mac version supports drag-and-drop onto program icon.
Readme files completely re-written. Broken into lots of files, and new sections on Starting to use analog and What the results mean, as well as an index.
The following features have been abolished.
No Error Report. The error log was always intended for humans rather than computers to read. Moreover, its format varied from server to server, and even between different versions of the same server. The place of the Error Report has largely been taken by the new reports, particularly the Failure Report.
The approximate host counting has been abolished for the time being. I can put it back if there is a significant demand for it.
Only one * can now appear on the left-hand side of aliases. This is to avoid ambiguities.
For changes in the names and syntax of configuration options and command line arguments, see the page about upgrading.
The following features are not yet present, but will be added by version 3.
The form interface.
