I have noticed for some time now an entry in my webalizer stats under
the countries section of "Old Style Arpanet(arpa)".

Does anyone know what country this is or if it's a country at all?
I'm thinking it may be a server name getting mixed in with the
countries listing somehow, but not really sure.

If someone could shed some light on this it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi again,


Im playing with options of webalizer which is downloaded from
http://www.medasys-lille.com/webalizer/
and im running webalizer on IIS5.0 + w2k.
server's timezone is GMT+2  ..
...
  i could not arrange correctly -hourly graphics- stage of webalizer results.
and webalizer shows hourly statistics  2 hours less than real(correct) time?
i changed GMTTime option to 'yes' and 'no'
even i checked 'Use local time for file naming and rollover' option of IIS   but
those didnot help me?

what do you suggest me?


Thanks For your interests ...

OK here is the History Lesson! Arpanet(arpa) was not the 1st network created
but was the 1st government networking project which it's goal was to create
a means of communication that 1. would allow computers to share data and
connect together and 2. a second project was to find a way voice comm. could
not be interupted like a Nuke going off distroying a whole section of
telecom infostructure.  Before telecommunications was point to point full
carrier wave.  Break the connection at any point along the path and this
method fails.

Break through idea! change voice carrier waves to digital data packets to a
predetermined size with destination information in the header of each
packet.  Digital devices were created to gate or route these packets.
Routers allowed packets to pass or be routed along one of it's connections
if the ip address was apart of it's connection.  IE these packets could
reach it's destination through a multitude of network connections even if a
huge hunk of truck line got severed.  This was a national security issue and
the protocol TCP/IP was redeveloped to allow computers to use the same
method.  Arpa was the origional computer network pre internet that merged to
one communications backbone for voice, data & video that this new tcp/ip and
routing system was designed to manage.  Arpa merged into the common backbone
infustructure used today we call the internet.  What you are seeing are the
universities and government sites along that network that still exists
today.

ConvertTime yes

Note: This option is for marked as 'Test only', but you
could give it a try.

If you look at the bottom of the sample.conf, you can see
several options just for this version.

It is one of the TLDs (Top Level Domains).  It was originally the _only_
TLD but now is used almost exclusively by reverse lookups
(address-to-name lookups) via the in-addr.arpa zone.

Note that the "names" given to the "countries" in your Webalizer output
are nothing magic - they are derived from a text file in your
configuration.

What is the best way to rotate the logs? Here is a
overview of my configuration.

- 4 Web Servers running Apache (Solaris)
- Each Web Server has it's own log
- The 4 Web logs are sorted into on log for webalizer

The problem:
After the webalizer-sorted.log has completed. I
cat /dev/null > webserver[1-4]-access.log. However,
the apache web server seems to no longer work or write
information to the logs.

Has anybody been through a similar scenerio?

Thanks.

This is more appropriate to an apache list, but if you move/remove a
filehandle that apache is using, it'll hang-- this is documented at
httpd.apache.org. I believe that apache2 had some builtin transfer
mechanism, but you might want to look at cronolog-- you can pipe your
log output to cronolog (httpd://www.cronolog.org) and it'll rotate logs
at a specified interval, so that you can then use a cat; sort routine on
the logfiles.

I took over a web site that last ran a 12 month report in May (may
2001 - April 2002). I tried to run it again and got a June 2002 -
Present 2002). My log file has over 1 GIG!! of data and I had 3
million hits in July alone. Is there a way for me to combine the
previous history with the current report to get a simple 12 month
report? I think my disk quota may be interferring.

I have noticied that a good number of my domains that I stats using
webalizer, have an hole in 06/07/02. Only in this day that Logs aren't
downloaded, next and previous days are Ok.
I have the log files for this day, but not all the subsequent days
logs.
How can I add this data to my stats?

Regards, F.

The incrementa was already set to yes. I can run June 2002 to July
2002, or May 2001-April 2002. I can't get them to merge and update.

The main page for webalizer only show the last 12 months, but
the monthly pages over the previous periode should still be
there. There named accouring to this template: usage_YYYYMM.html

So the stats for March 2001 can be accessed by changing the
url to http://<stats_page>/usage_200103.html

I assume you use the version from http://www.medasys-lille.com/webalizer/

As stated on that site, the following fields should be in your
logfile:
1 : read directly IIS4.0 and 5.0 log files ( W3C with at least 8
option "date", "time", "c-ip","cs-username", "cs-uri-stem",
"sc-status","sc-bytes", "cs(User-Agent)", "cs(Referer)")

which version of webalizer are you using?

i fixed this problem with changing LogType from conf file

i should note i downloaded it from www.medasys.lille.com
I dont have exact idea about the www.webalizer.org  version.

Hello,

Since we installed webalizer on our cobalt raq3 we have noticed that webalizer
is showing erratic behaviour which shows itself in
days where the stats are quite clearly wrong. For example the stats were
regulary around the 1000 visits per day mark but on the
10/19/28th day the visits would drop to 90?

This has been getting more frequent as the sites have become more popular so
that it occurs every 4 days!

Some background info: Webalizer is set to incremental. TIt is run each night
from cron.daily before the logs are rotated by the
server.

How can I stop this?

thanks

jon

I am using the current version from http://www.medasys-

I didn´t change a thing. Maybe it can´t stand the weekend ;-)

Can anyone help.

Blame Cobalt.  :)

What happens is this: Every night, logrotate splits out the main
apache.log file into the siteXX/logs/web.log files.  This is what your
webalizer is running against.

The catch is that, after your siteXX/logs/web.log file gets too big,
logrotate hits -it- too.  Before webalizer can run again.

So you've got:

logrotate(apache.log); webalizer; logrotate(apache.log); webalizer....
until web.log gets big and then you have:

logrotate(apache.log); logrotate(web.log); webalizer;

So, about a day's worth of stuff gets lost.

The only solution I've come up with is a PITA to implement.  for every
/etc/logrotate.d/siteXX file, in the web.log section, add a prerotate
section that runs webalizer.  This tells logrotate that, before it can
rotate a web.log file, it needs to run webalizer on it.

As far as I know, you'll have to do this manual change for every site when
you add it, and I won't guarantee that changes in the GUI won't mess it up.

Does this mean I can delete the 200104, 05, 06 & 07.html pages and
simply move the new 200206,07,08.html files into the smae directory?
It stopped reading and writing as og April 2002. It then ran a new
history from June -- current.

Bad solution.. the Webalizer should _never_ be run against a live log when
using incremental mode.  Doing so can cause data loss.

/home/sites/siteXX/logs/web.log is not a live log.

apache's /var/log/httpd/access.log is the live log.  the 'daily' cron runs
logrotate and, only once a day, updates the
/home/sites/siteXX/logs/web.log file.  The rest of the time, the web.log
file is -not- live.

I do -not- suggest running webalizer against the access.log directly.
Beyond the badness of running on a live log, it includes all the accesses
for -all- the sites.

That's why I suggested adding a prerotate section in the /etc/logrotate.d/
siteXX files and -not- in the /etc/logrotate.d/apache file.

(FWIW, I've a raq4, not a raq3, but it should be close enough.)

Hi.

I am using webalizer on my webserver, however the logs
only ever display 1 weeks worth of data - it always
wipes and restarts on Sunday. For the monthly stats,
only the last week's worth of data is stored.

I run webalizer from a daliy cron job that simply
calls usr/bin/webalizer & use the default config file.


What's going on?!  Am I missing an argument or
configuration thing somewhere???

Thanks for your help.

Simon

Parsing W3C files can only with the version downloaded from
http://www.medasys-lille.com/webalizer/ and the setting for
Logtype set to iis. The W3C files should at least contain the
following fields:

"date", "time", "c-ip","cs-username", "cs-uri-stem", "sc-status",
"sc-bytes", "cs(User-Agent)", "cs(Referer)")

Use the incremental option: Incremental yes
