Log file |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Choosing a logfile is important as it will give you more or less precise
statistics about your server. If you are running an Unix server, you can
choose between common or extended common logfile format. Only Apache (AFAIK)
support the new extended common logfile format.
If you are running a NT server, you can choose between IIS or common logfile.
W3Perl can cope with :
CERN, Apache, Netscape, NCSA and Domino error logfile are supported. Referer and agent separate logfiles are also supported. New logfile format can be easily added in the package, contact me if you need a specific format. You can't have error statistics with IIS as these informations are only stored in a database (AFAIK).

Huge logfile |
It would be faster if you decide to crunch your logifle each month.
Instead of scanning a huge log file, the package will only scan
about the current month log file.
How to build monthly crunched log file is explain here
