Analog 3.x requires that there not be duplicate fields in the log file.
You are logging several duplicate fields. BYTES and BYTES_SENT contain
exactly the same values. URL and CS-URI are essentialy identical. RESULT
and CS-STATUS contain the same information, though in very different
formats. SC-STATUS is preffered over RESULT or CS-STATUS. These
duplicates increase the size of your log file for no reason and confuse
Analog. Analog 2.x would just pick one of the duplicates at random, but
Analog 3.x is picky, and insists that you resolve the problem.

I suggest you reconfigure WebSTAR to log the following tokens:
DATE TIME URL HOSTNAME BYTES SC-STATUS REFERER AGENT CS(HOST) USER
SEARCH_ARGS TRANSFER_TIME

Starting with REFERER, the fields are optional. The more you include, the
more information you will be able to get reports on. I have tried to
order them by importance, the earlier fields are more important.

Good Luck

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
