Re: [Summary-Talk] processing multiple logs problems

[Jason Linhart <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your setup makes sense for WebSTAR 4 logs, assuming you have the CS(HOST) 
log token included in the log files.

Your Apache logs are not going to have the host information in them, so 
you need to put them in a sub-folder of the logs folder. That way they 
will use the sub-folder name as the host name. In effect you are using 
method 4 for the Apache logs at the same time that you are using method 2 
for the WebSTAR logs. The only conflict between the two approaches is 
that "Always use folder name as domain name" can't be both on and off. 
Normally one setting or the other works, you may need to experiment.

There are several mistakes it is possible to make in this setup, but very 
few of the ones I can think of would ever get the Apache logs included in 
all of the other sub-reports. If you have two different sub-reports that 
have two different domain names in the "Domains to include in this 
Sub-report" field, it is simply not possible for the Apache log entries 
to have both of those domain names, so they couldn't be included in both 
sub-reports. Are you sure you really have the sub-reports setup with 
domain names?

In this kind of situation it is always a good idea to have a sub-report 
that includes everything. Then you can look in the Details:Domains report 
in that sub-report to see which domain names are actually coming up for 
the Apache logs.

Good Luck

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
