Analog: Helper applications
This is a page of programs which other people have written to work with
analog. I haven't tried them, so I'm not in a
position to recommend them or even to say if they work. If you want your
program listed on this page, then mail
analog-author@lists.isite.net.
- Analog Helper
- Analog Helper is a graphical configuration tool for the Mac which allows
you to specify your analog and Report Magic settings via a GUI.
Sig Software, shareware, US$39.
http://www.sigsoftware.com/analoghelper/
- A-Soft Analog Shell
- A-Soft Analog Shell is another graphical configuration tool, this one
for Windows (95 and above).
A-Soft Technologies, shareware, US$49.95.
http://www.A-SoftTech.com/Startup/AnalogShell2.html
- Analog Picker
- Another graphical configuration tool for Windows. Also adds the date to
logfile lines that are missing it. Version 1.1 handles DNS lookups and
larger logfiles.
Utility Software, NZ$20 (c. US$10), 30 day free trial.

- RixWeb
- Fill in your choices on a web form, and have a configuration file or
Windows BAT file emailed back to you.

included in the distributed configuration file.

- adddates.pl, logfix.vbs and convlog
- Analog can't process logs which have the time on each line but the date
only in a header, because it has no way to tell if the date has changed
during the logfile.
So
here are two scripts to add the date to every line of an extended format
log. The first uses Perl, and the
second uses the Windows Scripting Host.
Please read the warnings at
the top of each program or you might get wrong data: they both assume
that there are no 24-hour gaps in the logfile. Neither of these may be
true in practice (especially on intranets). The convlog program comes
with the Microsoft IIS server and will do a similar job, but also has
to make these assumptions. So it is much better to log the date on every
line initially.
adddates.pl by Jeremy Wadsack, freeware.
logfix.vbs by Aengus Lawlor, freeware.
- LogTran
- LogTran is a program for Mac which translates logfiles from lots of
different formats into combined format. This is an alternative to writing
LOGFORMAT strings for some formats which analog doesn't have
built-in knowledge of.
Summary.Net, shareware, US$25.
http://www.summary.net/soft/logtran.html
- Log Fixer
- If you have extra quote-marks in your referrer or browser field, this
program will fix them so that analog can read those lines. It will also
make a couple of more minor corrections. For Windows, with combined log
format.
Jim Foley, `donorware'.
http://momp.hypermart.net/logfix.htm
- logpatch
- Also fixes extra quote-marks in your referrer or browser field. This one
is in C.
Luchezar Georgiev, freeware.
logpatch.c
- maillog2commonlog
- This converts mail logs in sendmail, postfix, smail or qmail format to
the common log format, so that analog can process them. It comes with a
configuration file and language file to make analog report the results
more helpfully.
Joey Hess, freeware.
maillog2commonlog,
analog_mail.conf,
mail.lng,
licence.
- fwanalog
- This program converts firewall logfiles (in ipf or iptables format) into
a form analog can understand, and runs analog on them.
Balázs Bárány, freeware.
http://tud.at/programm/fwanalog/
- anonlog
- anonlog "anonymizes" your logfile by encoding sensitive
information.
Stephen Turner, freeware.
http://anonlog.sourceforge.net/
Most of the programs in this section do the same job in slightly different
ways -- looking up the numerical IP addresses in your logfile before you run
analog.
- DNSTran
- DNSTran is a DNS lookup tool. It can go through your logfile,
replacing numerical IP addresses with resolved names, or it can
write a DNS cache file for analog to use. Versions for Mac, Linux (x86),
Sun & IRIX.
Summary.Net, freeware.
http://www.summary.net/soft/dnstran.html
- QuickDNS
- QuickDNS is another tool to do all the DNS lookups before you run
analog. Win32.
AnalogX, freeware.
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/qdns.htm
- logresolve
- logresolve.c and logresolve.pl come with Apache and do the same job.
Apache group, freeware.
http://httpd.apache.org/
- fastresolve
- fastresolve is similar again, for Unix/Linux. It can even call analog
when it's finished!
David MacKenzie, freeware
http://www.pix.net/staff/djm/sw/fastresolve/
- hlr
- And here's another one. It stores the resolved addresses in a Berkeley
DB style database.
Tom Knienieder, freeware
http://www.knienieder.com/software.html

- And another one. This one is designed as a plug-in replacement for the
logresolve.pl script included with Apache.
Maurice Aubrey, freeware
http://www.creation.com/~maurice/scripts/ip2host
- jdresolve
- Another one. This one's distinctive feature is that it constructs a fake
address for unresolvable addresses based on resolving the parent domain.
John Rowell, freeware

final report. This is an alternative to analog's full DNS resolution.
Michael Kennedy, freeware.
minidns.pl
- Report Magic for Analog
- Turns analog output into pretty graphs.
Wadsack-Allen Digital Group, freeware.

- crontab.sh
- This is a Unix shell script, intended to be run from a cron job, which
can create reports daily, weekly and/or monthly.
Rebecca Minarik, freeware.
crontab.sh
- webloganalysis.pl
- Creates a configuration file for each virtual domain and runs analog.
Would have to be adapted to other sites. Written for Windows, but should
