Hi friends

I require to analyze the following log files: in Awstats 6.9 build – at ONE SHOT, NOT single file at a time

Example:

ex090324.log

ex090325.log

ex090326.log

ex090327.log

ex090328.log

etc

I request you all, to let me know, how to achieve the same (step by step)

what should be the command in the file:

awstats.www.websitename.com.conf

LogFile="E:\\Logs\\W3SVC1700423257\\ex090324.log"

(above to analyze single log file)

(below to analyze series of log files)

Logfile= ?

I really have to do this task ASAP, my job is on stake

Thanks in advance, regards

John

Hi Jean-Luc

Thanks for the information.

I want to analyze entire month logs (all at one time) not single file by file.

Example: Entire months MARCH logs

ex090301.log TO ex090331.log (all 31 log files)

what should be the configuration at conf = awstats.www.websitename.com.conf

LogFile=” ” (to analyze series of entire MARCH month logs)

LogFile=”E:\\Logs\\W3SVC1700423257\\ex090324.log” (single log file) = working fine

Please note:

One day's log file size is around 800 MB, if you recommend logresolvemerge.pl, imagine 800 MB X 30 days = 24 GB. I am wondering is it feasible?

regards

John

Thanks for the information and advise. I will try this and inform you the result.

LogFile="C:\\path\\to\\logresolvemerge.pl  E:\\Logs\\W3SVC1700423257\\ex0903*.log |"

C:\\path\\to\\logresolvemerge.pl  = I request you to clarify, whether this C:\\path\\to\\ differes from system to system. Do I have to fill up some information at C:\\xxxxx(path)\\xxxx(to)\\logresolvermerge.pl e:\\logs……

I want to clarify few things here:

1.Perl is installed in c:\\perl

2.awstats is installed at d:/program files

3. website directory is at d:/webdocs/

4. log files are available at e:/logs

please help, regards

John

Thanks for the update.

Yes you are perfectly right, I found this under /tools, which is available in my system path as below

LogFile="E:\\tools\\logresolvemerge.pl E:\\Logs\\W3SVC1700423257\\ex0903*.log |"

Will run this and share the result, thanks

regards

Update as on 12thOct09

Status of the case: SUCCESS

Topic: Awstats – Multiple log file – Knowledgebase, how to? Request

Solution provider & Project experT guidance from: Mr. Jean-Luc

IMP How to > Setup & configuration (Awstats 6.9):

Great Learnings as below:

Example:

LogFile=”E:\\tools\\logresolvemerge.pl E:\\Logs\\W3SVC1700423257\\ex0903*.log |”

(the above command path defferes system to system)

Awstat tool Used: logresolvemerge.pl

Some Interesting stuff:

a. Large log files

b. size of logs is 15 GB

c. Time taken by Awstats to complete the analysis:

Analysis start time: 29th September 09

Completion time: 12th October 09

Round off approx time taken to analyze = 10 to 12 days.

(analysis time depends on capacity of the DESKTOP OR SERVER BOX)

Used In this project:

Pentium 4 DESKTOP, OS used, Windows Server 2003, Standard, IIS 6 logs

2.8 GHZ, 1 GB  RAM, 160 GB IDE HDD

Sincere thanks to my Awstats guru, Jean-Luc for all the guidance to achieve the above project

best regards

John
