Issues with OS report

Post #1 of 6 (4371 views)

Hi All,
My apache logformat is as follows
APACHELOGFORMAT (%h %l %u %t \"%r\" \"Transaction time in Sec= %T\" \"Bytes
received = %b\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %>s %I)
I am getting issue with the OS report.For Mac it works fine but in case of
Windows it is gives me unknown OS.
Below I have given the snippet let me know if I am doing something silly.

10.146.161.163 - - [28/Aug/2008:12:12:17 +0530] "POST
/spiral-bin/Collector.dll HTTP/1.0" "Transaction time in Sec= 2" "Bytes
received = 75629" "testApp/1.0; Win32" 200 117
10.146.163.57 - - [28/Aug/2008:12:14:07 +0530] "POST
/spiral-bin/Collector.dll HTTP/1.0" "Transaction time in Sec= 0" "Bytes
received = 263" "testApp/2.2; MacPPC" 200 124

In case of Win32 the report comes as unknown OS but it shows correctly for
MacPPC as Mac OS.

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Arnab

Analog recognises Windows32 in the browser string, but not Win32.

What is this "testApp"? Obviously analog can only recognise the
strings I've programmed into it, which are based on the ones I found
in common browsers.

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your update.I fully agree with you about the programmed part.
Is it possible we can get the count for Win32 as well by some configuration
change or something else?
testApp is my test application which is sending request.For MacPPC we get
the correct result it would be nice if we get the same for Win32 as well.
Regards
Arnab

You can modify your application to use the same convention that other
Windows browsers use, or you can alias the string in your config file to
a format that Analog will recognize as a Windows browser:

BROWALIAS "testApp/1.0; Win32" "testApp/1.0; (Windows NT 5.1)"
