Re: Analog-GeoIP and DNS lookup combat. new
Hey guys,
You all are very-much aware that Analog is a web log analyzer.So I think it is of very interest that people from which region of world has accessed your site. GeoIP resolution has it's own significance if you are dealing with some professional stuff.
I want to make clear that ,those who are interested in Browser-report or OS-report should not follow this patch.
After thinking over every possible way I choose to replace OS-report and Browser-report with GeoIP-report. "Aengus" suggested to use DNS look-up for GeoIP resolution as alternate and easy way but, the problem with it is that it affects the following reports and you probably would have to sacrifice all of them.

1> Host Report ,Host Redirection Report, Host Failure Report : It will show garbage Country and City information lines from DNS look-up file.
2> Organisation Report : It will show garbage Cou! ntry and City information lines from DNS look-up file.
3> Domain Report : It will show garbage Country and City information lines from DNS look-up file.
4> Virtual Host Report,Virtual Host Redirection Report,Virtual Host Failure Report : It will show garbage Country and City information lines from DNS look-up file.

So what i think is it's wise decision to sacrifice OS-report and Browser-report.Also it has an advantage that, you can use following analog commands to operate for GeoIP-report.

1> OSINCLUDE : it will actually include the country and city specified as Country:City
2> OSEXCLUDE : it will act opposite to that of OSINCLUDE.
3> OSCHARTEXPAND : it will expand the country mentioned into it's cities in pie chart
To illustrate these things please go through followind pie charts.

1> Without "OSCHARTEXPAND India"
