[cobalt-users] Site Usage/stats and the Raq3 (w/Analog) -REPOST

Folks:
I'm reposting this LONG message because no one responded to it, and I really would like some feedback. As I'm new to the list, if this issue has already generated some traffic, could someone please point me to the archive reference? 

		********************************
I have tried to solve this problem by going through Tech Support and "Professional Services", to no avail.
The "Site Usage" information/interface (Web-based UI) on the Raq3 is not providing much in the way of information about our clients Web sites. The Raq3 manual claims that we can view site usage ("stats") "hourly", "daily", "weekly", and "monthly". This has proven not to be the case. At best, we can get only a report for a 24 hour period, or less. Analog (3.11) is obviously installed on the Raq3, and log files can be downloaded from the Web UI, or via FTP. I'd be happy to download the log files and dump them on top of a local copy of Analog (I have version 4.1 installed on my workstation). Trouble is that Analog is "barfing" on the Log File Format.
What is the CORRECT "Log File Format" that I need to change my workstation version of Analog and the "analog.cfg" file to include? 

	Stew Smith, at Cobalt Professional Services, claims that it is:

At 12:04 PM -0700 7/5/00, Stew Smith wrote:


LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
However, inserting this block of text into my local copy of the "analog.cgf" file still throws errors and prevents Analog from outputting the stats information. I keep getting the following error(s) - using YOUR "analog.cfg" file, downloaded from the Raq3:

OR... using the default "analog.cfg" file that was installed with my local copy of Analog (4.1), which reads (in part):

	I get the following error(s) with this version:

	Processing...
	analog: analog version 4.11/Mac

************
I've used over 45 different permutations of the Log File Format ("LOGFORMAT") and the shorthand symbols with no better results than the above. 

	HELP!  Can anyone PLEASE provide some clarity and information so that
I can get the kind of stats output that the Raq3 CLAIMS to be able to produce, 
			... OR ...
I can get the downloaded copy of the log file ("raqwide.web.log" or "web.log") to be read by a local copy of Analog, by some manipulation of the "analog.cfg" file (on my local drive) that still alludes me? 

	TIA
