According to Google's own documentation, the Useragent for Chrome looks
like:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.X.Y.Z Safari/525.13.

http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/webmasters-faq.html#useragent

Analog recognizes this as Safari/525.

You'd have to modify the Analog source and recompile it to identify
Chrome as a seperate browser, I think, but I don't have a copy of the
source to hand to see what would be involved.

The changes to detect Chrome are not difficult indeed ... this is what I
have done on our server:

According to Google's own documentation, the Useragent for Chrome looks
like:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.X.Y.Z Safari/525.13.

http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/webmasters-faq.html#useragent

Analog recognizes this as Safari/525.

Chrome as a seperate browser, I think, but I don't have a copy of the
source to hand to see what would be involved.

Thanks. My latest LOGFILE has:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/530.5
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/2.0.172.33 Safari/530.5"
which I see Analog shows as Safari/530. I have also some Safari/5.28
and Safari 5.23 which appear to be plain Safari. Presumably because of
Chrome's auto update most users will now be on /530.

This is in the source code. On first look at the code (tree.c), it
looks like since the Chrome browser is identified as (from Win2003)
"Chrome/2.0.172.37 Safari/530.5" then it would get labled as Safari,
not Chrome.

From my sources, which are mainly linux based, but I try to keep up
with the windows changes. You can get the new source (6.0.4) from http://iddl.vt.edu/~jackie/analog/
with RHEL3,RHEL5, Fedora 9 and Fedora 11 packages (what I've got
machines running).

I don't build this for windows, but have been trying to keep up with
the window source changes.

For those who are using other sources, the diff should be:

If "real" Safari browsers are identified as 5.something, and Chrome browsers as 530, then

BROWSUMALIAS Safari/530 Chrome/530

Will still list the Chrome Browsers as sub-types of Safari, but will list them as Chrome/530.

Yep, that works fine. It will be a bit of a nightmare keeping up with
Chrome updates though...

The Analog source has a list of browsers that claim to be subtypes of Mozilla. If you don't currently see any hits for Phoenix, Chimera or Camino, then you could Alias the Chrome brosers into one of these.

BROWALIAS *Chrome* $1Chimera$2
