Hi Christoph,

FROM/TO can only specify a contiguous timeframe, so you would be limited
to a single 7am to 7pm window on a given day. To extract certain times
on multiple days you will need to filter the logs prior to piping them
to analog, or using logfile preprocessing

Thanks, Klaus. I was already suspecting that it wouldn't work with FROM/TO.
I tried FROM *:0700 TO *:1900 or FROM :0700 TO :1900 but this triggered
syntax errors,
although it wouldn't problably very difficult to implement this as a
feature, but I'm not sure how "frozen" analog6.0 is, anyway :)
I couldn't get from the link you gave me, though, in the first place,
how this would lead me to a
means to preprocess the logs?

I could run a self crafted program that greps/seds/awks through the logs
in the analog.bat job
and have analog.bat (.exe) work on the proprocessed files.

But I didn't find a config-keyword that specifies a preprocessor on the
log file.

Correct. If you cannot get to the documentation at
http://analog.cx/docs/logfile.html#UNCOMPRESS, check the page "Choosing
a logfile" in your local analog documentation. Basically you specify the
preprocessor as the program to "uncompress" a file (of course if the
files are really compressed you will need to the actual uncompression
yourself then), e.g.

UNCOMPRESS *.gz /var/sample/filter.sh

I see the trick. Thanks.
