First, these reports have COLS commands, just like the time reports. (See the section on Time reports for how to use these commands.) But for these reports, several additional columns are available. Here is the full list of columns for the non-time reports
REQCOLS NRSDcounts the files in the Request Report, listing the number of requests for each, the number of requests for each in the last 7 days, and the time when each was last requested. The full list of COLS commands for non-time reports is HOSTCOLS, REDIRHOSTCOLS, FAILHOSTCOLS, ORGCOLS, DOMCOLS, REQCOLS, DIRCOLS, TYPECOLS, SIZECOLS, PROCTIMECOLS, REDIRCOLS, FAILCOLS, REFCOLS, REFSITECOLS, SEARCHQUERYCOLS, SEARCHWORDCOLS, INTSEARCHQUERYCOLS, INTSEARCHWORDCOLS, REDIRREFCOLS, FAILREFCOLS, BROWREPCOLS, BROWSUMCOLS, OSCOLS, VHOSTCOLS, REDIRVHOSTCOLS, FAILVHOSTCOLS, USERCOLS, REDIRUSERCOLS, FAILUSERCOLS and STATUSCOLS. Not every column is allowed in every report, but if you specify an illegal one, analog will warn you about it.
HOSTSORTBY ALPHABETICALwill sort the Host Report alphabetically. The full list of SORTBY commands is HOSTSORTBY, REDIRHOSTSORTBY, FAILHOSTSORTBY, ORGSORTBY, DOMSORTBY, REQSORTBY, DIRSORTBY, TYPESORTBY, REDIRSORTBY, FAILSORTBY, REFSORTBY, REFSITESORTBY, SEARCHQUERYSORTBY, SEARCHWORDSORTBY, INTSEARCHQUERYSORTBY, INTSEARCHWORDSORTBY, REDIRREFSORTBY, FAILREFSORTBY, BROWREPSORTBY, BROWSUMSORTBY, OSSORTBY, VHOSTSORTBY, REDIRVHOSTSORTBY, FAILVHOSTSORTBY, USERSORTBY, REDIRUSERSORTBY, FAILUSERSORTBY and STATUSSORTBY. Again, not every sort method is possible in every report, but you'll be warned if you choose an illegal one.
There is one known bug concerned with SORTBY ALPHABETICAL. The report is sorted before any output alias is applied. This means that if an output alias has been specified for the report, then the report may appear not to be sorted correctly.
DOMFLOOR 1000r # all domains with at least 1000 requests DOMFLOOR 100s # at least 100 requests within the last 7 days DOMFLOOR 1000p # at least 1000 requests for pages DOMFLOOR 100q # at least 100 requests for pages within the last 7 days DOMFLOOR 1000000b # at least 1,000,000 bytes transferred DOMFLOOR 1kb # at least 1 kilobyte (1024 bytes) DOMFLOOR 10.5Mc # at least 10.5Mb within the last 7 days DOMFLOOR 0.5%r # 0.5% of the total requests in the Domain Report # (ditto %s, %p etc.) DOMFLOOR 0.5:r # 0.5% of the maximum number of requests for any domain # (ditto :s, :p etc.) DOMFLOOR 970701d # last access since 1st July 1997 DOMFLOOR 970701e # first access since 1st July 1997 DOMFLOOR -00-01-00d # last access in last month (see # documentation on FROM and TO commands) DOMFLOOR -100r # domains with top 100 number of requests # (ditto -100s, p, q, b, c, d, or e)The full list of FLOOR commands is HOSTFLOOR, REDIRHOSTFLOOR, FAILHOSTFLOOR, DOMFLOOR, ORGFLOOR, REQFLOOR, DIRFLOOR, TYPEFLOOR, REDIRFLOOR, FAILFLOOR, REFFLOOR, REFSITEFLOOR, SEARCHQUERYFLOOR, SEARCHWORDFLOOR, INTSEARCHQUERYFLOOR, INTSEARCHWORDFLOOR, REDIRREFFLOOR, FAILREFFLOOR, BROWREPFLOOR, BROWSUMFLOOR, OSFLOOR, VHOSTFLOOR, REDIRVHOSTFLOOR, FAILVHOSTFLOOR, USERFLOOR, REDIRUSERFLOOR, FAILUSERFLOOR and STATUSFLOOR. Once again, not every floor method is legal for every report, but you'll be warned if you try and choose an illegal one.
REQCHART OFFwill stop you getting a pie chart on the Request Report, whereas
REQCHART ONwill turn it back on. You can also use the following arguments to plot the chart by a specific variable.
The full list of CHART commands is HOSTCHART, REDIRHOSTCHART, FAILHOSTCHART, ORGCHART, DOMCHART, REQCHART, DIRCHART, TYPECHART, REDIRCHART, FAILCHART, REFCHART, REFSITECHART, SEARCHQUERYCHART, SEARCHWORDCHART, INTSEARCHQUERYCHART, INTSEARCHWORDCHART, REDIRREFCHART, FAILREFCHART, BROWREPCHART, BROWSUMCHART, OSCHART, VHOSTCHART, REDIRVHOSTCHART, FAILVHOSTCHART, USERCHART, REDIRUSERCHART, FAILUSERCHART, STATUSCHART, SIZECHART and PROCTIMECHART. Again, not every chart method is available for every report. You can also use
ALLCHART ON ALLCHART OFFto turn them all on or off simultaneously.
The pie charts are normally written to the same directory as the OUTFILE. But you can specify a different location using the CHARTDIR and LOCALCHARTDIR commands. If the OUTFILE is standard output, you must use these commands, or you will not get any pie charts. Also, if you are writing two output files to the same directory, you must use these commands, or one set of images will overwrite the other. And you also need to use these commands if you are using the form interface, but there are additional issues in that case.
You have to use both of the commands before they have any effect. The CHARTDIR is the location of the pie chart directory on your server, similar to the IMAGEDIR; it's used for putting in the <img> tag to include the image. The LOCALCHARTDIR is the location on your local disk; it's where the image is written to. For example, you might have
CHARTDIR /images/ LOCALCHARTDIR /usr/local/apache/htdocs/images/to put the pie charts in locations like /usr/local/apache/htdocs/images/dom.png and link to them like <img src="/images/dom.png">. On Windows, you will need to put the LOCALCHARTDIR in quotes, to stop the backslash at the end of the line being interpreted to mean that the command continues on the next line. For example,
LOCALCHARTDIR "\webimages\analog\"Actually, the CHARTDIR and LOCALCHARTDIR are just prefixes to the filename, so you can specify something like
CHARTDIR /stats/rep1 LOCALCHARTDIR /usr/local/htdocs/stats/rep1to put the pie charts in locations like /usr/local/htdocs/stats/rep1dom.png and link to them like <img src="/stats/rep1dom.png">. Also the names can contain date codes in the same way as the LOGFILE and OUTFILE.
If you compiled your own version of analog, and you used your version of libgd instead of mine (see the Makefile for how to do this), then you can use the command
JPEGCHARTS ONto make the charts in JPEG format instead of PNG. (See the PNGIMAGES command for how to make the bar charts in the time reports into png's.)
Here are the exact rules for which wedges are plotted in the pie chart. Up to ten wedges, plus "Other", are drawn, but wedges are only drawn if they are large enough. Also, wedges are only drawn if the item is listed in the main table for the report. And the whole chart will not be plotted if it would contain only one wedge.
If you want to plot more detail on the pie charts, for example Windows 98 & Windows NT instead of just Windows on the Operating System Report chart, see the next section.
REPORTSPAN ONThere is also a command called REPORTSPANTHRESHOLD (which can be abbreviated RSTHRESH). This says that each report span should only be listed if it differs from the overall span of the whole report -- listed at the top of the page -- by at least this many minutes at one end. For example,
REPORTSPANTHRESHOLD 60will only list a report span if that report starts at least an hour after the start of the logfile, or ends at least an hour before the end of the logfile. You can set
REPORTSPANTHRESHOLD 0to make sure that the report span is listed on all the reports.
There's one other command which affects the links in the Request Report, Redirection Report and Failure Report. The command BASEURL prepends an additional string to the URLs in the target of the link. For example, after the command
BASEURL http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/ will be linked to http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/, not just to /~sret1/. This is very useful if you want to display the statistics on a different server from the server they refer to. If you want the file to be listed as http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/, rather than just to be linked to that address, you need to use the second argument to the LOGFILE command instead.
In the next section, we'll look at commands for generating hierarchical reports, which are closely related to the commands in this section.
