Mailing List Archive: analog-help: Enterprise 3.5.1

Hello, Is anybody else trying to analize logs from Netscape Enterprise
Server 3.5.1? We've just upgraded from 2.01 and ever since the
upgrade I've been having some difficulties with the log format. From
searching on Netscape's site I found out that the access logs are
buffered every 30 seconds, it also said this:
"if you are using other log analysis tools you should make sure
that it's able to understand log entries that are not time stamped in
monotonically increasing order"

Does anybody know about this? could this be why I'm getting an
incredibly large number of currupt log file line (almost as many
successful hits)?

Looking at the log files it appears to be breaking each entry into two
seperate lines, how do I write a LOGFORMAT for this?

I'm sorry if I have a lot of questions, I've been stumped ever since
we upgraded to NS 3.5.1.

Thanks for any help,

Matthew MacGregor

There is no problem with entries not being in monotonically increasing
order. Unlike many log analysers, analog will produce the same results
whatever the ordering of the individual lines.

You can include a new line in the logformat by putting \n

By the way, you can print out all corrupt lines by turning debugging on.
