We use webalizer to track internet usage at our company on a UNIX
box. Each person's IP address (which is fixed) appears in the
hostname column of the monthly webalizer reports.

Is it possible for webalizer to create hostname reports? These would
be similar to the monthly reports except that it would only show
usage for a particular hostname (in the month). Ideally these
hostname reports would be linked to the hostname in the monthly
reports.

I am running a Windows 2000 Server (yes, i know i should be running
unix), apatch 1.3.26, and webalizer. I have about 6 domains hosted on
my server each with individual log files thats are rotated monthly.

does anyone know how to get webalizer to analayze all of these 6 logs
to get overall stats for the whole server?

i used to use "Analog" and could do this by putting multiple LOGFILE
commands in the config file. i tried this in webalizer but it only
uses the file from the last LOGFILE command.

***** PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT I AM RUNNING WINDOWS!! *****
I am not a good perl programmer at present, but if you give an
outline of what the program does, i could convert it to vb6!

Enter your vote today!  A new poll has been created for the
webalizer group:

Which is best?

   o Windows 2000 Server
   o Linux (RedHat)
   o Linux (Mandrake)
   o Other

With VB6 you should be able to copy and merge your six logs into one.
Then run Webalizer on the resulting merged log.  Just an idea.

Gluck,

Hi  there webalizer folks.....

I am wanting to use webalizer to measure ftp usage by bytes
downloaded from my server, and am wondering if you can help me get my
settings right in order to do this. I want to have a summary by user so that
I can successfully bill them for usage, and have seen webalizer places with
this.... http://www.zebroc.de/webalizer-ftp/usage_200204.html#TOPUSERS

I am logging  "date", "time", "c-ip","cs-username", "cs-uri-stem",
"sc-status","sc-bytes" and using the win32 port from
http://www.medasys-lille.com/webalizer/

My conf file contains this...

FolderLog d:\logs\msftpsvc1\
OutputDir d:\webalizer\ftp
DNSCache dns_cache.db
LogType  iis
HostName ftp.antithesys.com

and the command i run is
webalizer -c d:\webalizer\ftp.conf

Can someone help me please.

Thanks
Tristan

Ok, I can do the merging ok in visual basic 6, but how can i do the
sorting? i can't seem to get it working!

Does anyone have a descent script to handle unresolved logs rotated by
Apache's rotatelog?

Because apache may need restarting (off the weekly rotation schedule)
I'm currently doing something like -

# grab all files generated in the past week, but no the active file.
for log in `find <logdir> -mtime +1 -mtime -8 -name access_log.*`
do
   logresolve < $log | webalizer -c somesite.conf
done

My problem is that this seems to hang.  My files are large enough
(weekly) that it takes about 2 hours to resolve them.  Could this
cause webalizer to hang up while waiting for a log entry?

I usually do this:

Create a logrotate configuration script, and save it as something like
/www/web/_logrotate/site.conf...


"/var/logs/www/site-access_log" /var/logs/www/site-error_log {daily
olddir /var/logs/archive
rotate 30
compress
sharedscripts
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd
endscript
}



Next I create a shell script that is run from cron, that resolves the
logs, rotates them and runs webalzer:


usr/local/httpd/bin/logresolve -s /var/logs/apache/httpd-resolver-stats
< /var/logs/www/site-access_log >
/var/logs/www/resolved/site-access_log
/usr/sbin/logrotate -f /www/web/_logrotate/site.conf
/usr/local/bin/webalizer -c /www/web/_webalizer/site.conf



I do this with a couple hundred sites on different servers, many sites
have massive log files. It seems to run without trouble.

Also, you probably want to do it on a _daily_ ( _nightly_ ?) basis, not
weekly.

Best,

I agree that's a good idea, except that I'm not in control of the
webserver I'm generating stats for.  Logs are rsync'd to my system.
The guy that runs the webserver pipes the log entries to Apache's
rotatelog program, so I'm kinda stuck with that.  I've tweaked my
script to use an intermediate file for the resolved log, and webalizer
seems to like that better than a |'d file.

Thanks.

Quick explanation of the issue...

During November the web server admin for one of the boxes I do stats
for changed his server config to not do dns resolution (failing to
notify me), after having given me resolved logs since the beginning of
time.

I generate his stats output using incremental processing, and now find
myself needing to rerun stats for November.  Is there a way I can
"hack" November's records out of the history and incremental file?

I have guessed the structure of the history file, however modifying it
alone and rerunning webalizer does not produce good results.

Can I fix the booboo?

Thanks.

Perhaps I can answer my own question, after using better search
criteria...

Since I have not processed any December data yet, I can probably just
delete the November line from the <site>.history files and run
webalizer for November again right?

I was reading someone's post on incremental files resetting each
month, which I guess I can take advantage of because I haven't created
a new file for December as yet.

When running webalizer shouldn't command line options take precedence
over config file options?  (I'm not seeing this happen)

I'm trying to rebuild a bad month of stats and I wanted to use the
config file for the site with one exception...overriding the output
directory.  This doesn't seem to be the way it wants to work though.  :(

Any ideas?...does the order of the command line args matter?

i have recently configured a squid proxy in my company.
i want to generate reports from the accesslog of squid
using webalizer.do i need a webserver to do this.

thank you.

yes it is! simply use webalizer as per normal, but just set
the "LogType" directive to "squid" instead of "combined"!!

I hope this helps, good luck, Dave!

Is there any way to get a break down of the browser
types AND Operating systems using webalizer, other
than having no user agent mangling....

ideally a breakdown so that a report can be generated
something like this:

Windows    76%
    IE6     80%
    IE5.5   15%
    Netscape 7 5%

Mac        22%
    IE5.5    60%
    Netscape 7 33%
    OmniWeb  4%

Other      2%


Thanks

TM

I need to reconstruct my webalizer.hist file.  Need help with contents of
the information in the file...  I can't figure out fields 7&8.

month, year, total_hits, total_files, total_unique_sites, total_Kb, ?, ?,
total_pages, total_visits

Thanks

Can anyone assist with a problem that seems to have occurred with
Webalizer recently. Although I used to log in with the admin username
and password this no longer works. The password has not been changes but
Webalizer won't accept it anymore so I can't view any stats reports. I
used Telnet to check that the password hadn't been changed somehow but
this works fine. Is there any way to get round Webalizre security or to
reset it?

Many thanks

This has nothing to do with webalizer, but is managed in the
software for your webserver. Contact the server administrator
for more information about this.

Hello

you don't need to use CONVLOG with modern versions of webalizer for NT,
it will read the W3C format.

I do however recall that CONVLOG drops that information you are looking
for.

on my w2k/iis5 server i simply do

d:\logs\webalizer.exe -c d:\logs\W3SVC1.conf

the logs are stored in W3C, with the necessaries turned on in "extended
properties". I don't need to convert to NCSA.

If there is some reason you want to convert to ncsa from w3c, don't use
CONVLOG. There are some other utilities around, probably on the
webalizer nt site ???.

I know I wrote one back in the old days when webalizer/nt wouldn't deal
with the W3C files, you can find it at http://wcg2.com

Take care,

This is good news!  We really don't want to convert the log files if
possible.  We just did it because the instructions that came with
WEBALIZER v2.01-10 said to.  I will look for a newer version of
WEBALIZER.
Thanks
Stan

If you go to http://www.medasys-lille.com/webalizer/

the home page talks about W3C support.

Hi,
I have downloaded the version of WEBALIZER from
http://www.medasys-lille.com/webalizer/.  When I run it against my W3C
log file I get:

Warning:  truncating oversized username
Skipping Bad Record

The fields specified in the log are:
date time c-ip cs-username s-ip s-port cs-method cs-uri-stem
cs-uri-query sc-status sc-bytes cs-bytes cs(user-agent) cs(referer)

In looking at each record in the log, the cs-username field contains
only a dash (-).  There is an IP address before the dash that should be
the c-ip and one after that should be the s-ip.  Any ideas??

Stan

Hi,
I have downloaded the 2.01.09.RB07 version of WEBALIZER from
http://www.medasys-lille.com/webalizer/.  When I run it against my W3C
log file I get:

Warning:  truncating oversized username

the c-ip and one after that should be the s-ip.  Any ideas??

Also, is v2.01.09RB07 or v2.01-10 the latest and greatest?
