| -h |
print a short help list explaining the meaning of the options.
Use -hh to print an even more detailed help. |
| -d |
(daily mode) generate a short statistics report for the
current day only. If a history file exists, the values for the
previous days will be read from this history file and the
corresponding logfile entries are skipped. If no history exist,
the whole logfile will be processed and a history file will be
created (unless -n is also given). |
| -m |
(monthly mode) generate a full statistics report for a
whole month. In this mode, the values from the history file are
used only to create a summary page for the last 12 months. The
timestamps from the logfile entries feed into http-analyze
always take preceedence over any records in the history unless
the option -e is specified. |
| -B |
create buttons only and exit. The analyzer copies or links the
required files and buttons from the central directory HA_LIBDIR
into the output directory specified by -o. |
| -V |
(version) print the version number of http-analyze
and exit. |
| -X |
print the URL to file a bug report. Use command substitution or
cut & paste to pass this URL to your favourite browser,
complete the form and submit it. |
| -3 |
create a VRML2.0-compliant 3D model of the statistics in addition
to the regular statistics report. You need a VRML2.0 compliant
plug-in such as CosmoPlayer from Cosmo Software to view
the resulting model. |
| -a |
ignore all requests for URLs which required authentication. If your
statistics report is publicly available, you probably do not want
to have "secret URLs" listed in the report. See also the
AuthURL directive in the configuration
file. |
| -e |
use the history file even in full statistics (-m) mode.
If this option is specified and you analyze the logfiles for
several months in one run, http-analyze uses the results
recorded in the history file for previous months and skips all
logfile entries up to the first day of a new month not recorded
in the history (usually the current month). This option is useful
if you rotate your logfile once per quarter and want
http-analyzeto skip all entries for previous months which
have been processed already. |
| -f |
create an additional frames-based user interface for the statistics
report. This interface requires JavaScript. |
| -g |
(generic interface) create a conventional (non-frames) user
interface for the statistics report without the optional
JavaScript-based navigation window. By default, the conventional
interface includes JavaScript enhancements for window control,
which only becomes active if the user has enabled JavaScript in
his/her browser. Use this option only to completely disable
JavaScript enhancements in the report even if the user has
enabled JavaScript in the browser. |
| -k |
do not collect URLs under their base directory in the Top-N
lists and in the overviews. Normally, URLs are collected under
their base directory in those summaries, for example
/dir/index.html will be accounted for under /dir/.
If the option -k is given, URLs appear literally in all
summaries as in previous versions of http-analyze. |
| -n |
(no update) do not update the history file.
Since the history is used in the statistics report to create the
main summary page with the results of last 12 months, this option
must be used to not mess up the statistics report when analyzing
logfiles for previous months (before the last one). |
| -q |
do not strip arguments to CGI scripts. By default, http-analyze
strips arguments from CGI URLs to be able to lump them together.
If your server creates dynamic HTML files through a CGI script,
they are reduced to the URL of the script. If -q is specified,
those argument lists are left intact and CGI URLs with different
arguments are treated as different URLs. Note that this only works
for requests to scripts, which receive their arguments using the
GET, but not the POST method. See the section
Interpretation of the results for an
explanation of the request methods and the
StripCGI directive. |
| -v |
(verbose) comment ongoing processing. Warnings are printed
only in verbose mode. Use this option to see how http-analyze
processes the logfile. If -v is doubled, a dot is printed for
each new day in the logfile. |
| -x |
list each image URL literally rather than lumping them together
under the item All images. Without this option,
http-analyze collects all requests for images
(*.png, *.gif, *.jpg, *.ief,
*.pcd, *.rgb, *.xbm, *.xpm,
*.xwd, *.tif) under the item All images to avoid
cluttering up the lists with lots of image URLs. If -x is
given, each image URL is listed literally unless matched by an
explicit HideURL directive in
the configuration file. |
| -b bufsize |
defines the size of the I/O buffer for reading the logfile
(default: 64KB). Usually, the best size for I/O buffers is
reported on a per-file base by the operating system, but some
OS report the logical blocksize instead. If http-analyze -v
reports a "Best buffer size for I/O" less than or equal
to 8KB, you should specify a size of 16KB for pipes and up to 64KB
for disk files to increase the processing speed. |
| -c cfgfile |
use cfgfile as the configuration file.
A configuration file allows you to define the behaviour of
http-analyze and to define the "look & feel"
of the statistics report. See the section
Configuration File for a
description of possible settings, which are called
directives in the following text. |
| -i newcfg |
create a new configuration file named newcfg.
If an old configuration file was also specified using the
-c option, older settings are retained in the new file.
Any command line options take preceedence over old configuration
file entries and will be transformed into the corresponding
directive if possible. For example, specifying the output
directory using the option -o outdir will produce an entry
OutputDir outdir in the new configuration file. |
| -l libdir |
use libdir as the central library directory where
http-analyze looks for the pre-requisite files, buttons, and
license information (usually /usr/local/lib/http-analyze).
This location can also be specified using the environment variable
HA_LIBDIR. |
| -o outdir |
use outdir instead of the current directory as the output
directory for the statistics report. http-analyze checks
automatically for the required files and buttons in outdir.
If they are missing or out of date, the analyzer copies them from
HA_LIBDIR into the output directory. See also the
OutputDir and the
BtnSymlink directives. |
| -p prvdir |
defines the name of a "private" directory for the
detailed lists of files, sites, browsers
and referrer URLs. Because prvdir must reside
directly under the output directory, its name may not contain
any slashes ('/'). A private directory for detailed
lists may be useful to restrict access to those lists if the
rest of the statistics report is publicly available. Note that
for restricting access to the complete statistics report, you
do not need to place the detailed lists in a private directory.
See also the PrivateDir
directive. |
| -s subopt,... |
suppress certain lists in the report. See also the
Suppress directive.
subopt may be: |
|
| AVLoad |
to suppress the average load report (top seconds/minutes/hours), |
| URLs |
to suppress the overview and list of URLs/items, |
| URLList |
to suppress the list of URLs/items only, |
| Code404 |
to suppress the list of Code 404 (Not Found) responses, |
| Sites |
to suppress the overview and list of client domains, |
| RSites |
to suppress the overview of reverse client domains, |
| SiteList |
to suppress the list of all client domains/hostnames, |
| Agents |
to suppress the overview and list of browser types, |
| Referrer |
to suppress the overview and list of referrers URLs, |
| Country |
to suppress the list of countries, |
| Pageviews |
to suppress pageview rating (cached files are shown instead), |
| AuthReq |
to suppress requests which required authentication, |
| Graphics |
to suppress images such as graphs and pie charts, |
| Hotlinks |
to suppress hotlinks in the list of all URLs, |
| Interpol |
to suppress interpolation of values in graphs. |
|
|
You can specify more than one subopt with a
single -s option by separating them with
commas as in -s Code404,Country.
See also the Suppress
directive in the configuration file. |
| -t num,... |
defines the size of certain lists.
num is either a positive number or the value 0 to suppress
the corresponding list. You specify the list by appending one of
the following characters to the number shown here as '#'
(note that the characters are case-sensitive): |
|
| #U |
# is the number of entries in the Top URL list (default: 30), |
| #L |
# is the number of entries in the Least URL list (default: 10), |
| #S |
# is the number of entries in the Top domain list (default: 30), |
| #A |
# is the number of entries in the Top agent/browser list (default: 30), |
| #R |
# is the number of entries in the Top referrer URL list (default: 30), |
| #d |
# is the number of entries in the Top days table (default: 7), |
| #h |
# is the number of entries in the Top hours table (default: 24), |
| #m |
# is the number of entries in the Top minutes table (default: 5), |
| #s |
# is the number of entries in the Top seconds table (default: 5), |
| #N |
# is the size of the navigation frame (default: 120 pixels) |
|
|
You can specify more than one num with a
single -t option by separating them with
commas as in -t 20U,0L,20S.
See also the Top*
directives in the configuration file. |
| -u time |
defines the time-window for counting sessions.
See Sessions in the section Interpretation
of the results for an explanation of this term. |
| -w hits |
set the noise-level to hits.
If a noise-level is defined, all URLs, sites, agents and referrer URLs
with hits below this level are collected under the item Noise
in the Top N lists and overviews to avoid cluttering up those
lists. See also the NoiseLevel
directive. |
| -I date |
skip all logfile entries until this day (exclusive).
The date may be specified as DD/MM/YYYY or MM/YYYY,
where MM is the number or the name of a month. Note that
in full statistics mode, DD defaults to the first day of
the month if absent. (If you specify any other day in this mode,
unpredictable results may occur.) For example, -I Feb
restricts the analysis to the February of the current year. |
| -E date |
skip all logfile entries starting from this day on (inclusive).
The date format is the same as in -I. To restrict analysis
to a certain period, specify the starting date using -I and
the first date to be ignored using -E. For example,
-I Jan/2000 -E Feb/2000 restricts the
analysis to January 2000. |
| -F logfmt |
the logfile format to use. Valid keywords for logfmt are
auto for auto-sensing the logfile format, clf for
the NCSA Common Logfile Format, or dlf and elf
for the two variants of the W3C Extended Logfile Format.
See also the section about Logfile
Formats. |
| -L lang |
use the language lang for warning messages and for the
statistics report. See also the directive
Language and
the section Multi-National Language Support
for more information about localization of http-analyze. |
| -C chrset |
force use of chrset for the browser's encoding when
displaying the statistics report. This is needed for languages
which require special character sets such as Chinese. See also
HTMLCharSet and the section about
Multi-National Language Support. |
| -G pattern,... |
defines additional pageview patterns. All URLs matching one of the
patterns are classified as pageviews (text files).
If pattern starts (doesn't start) with a slash (/),
it is treated as a prefix (suffix) each URL is compared with.
The suffix .html is pre-defined by default. You can add
9 more patterns here, for example .shtml, .text
and /cgi-bin/. To specify more than one suffix with a
single -G option, use commas to separate them.
See also the PageView
directive. |
| -H idxfile,... |
define additional directory index filenames.
The name index.html is pre-defined by default.
http-analyze truncates URLs containing an index
filename so that they merge with `/'
(their "base URL"). For example,
/dir/index.html is truncated to /dir/.
You can add up to 9 more names for directory index files,
for example Welcome.html or home.html.
To specify more than one name with a single -H option, use
commas to separate them. See also the
IndexFiles directive. |
| -O vname,... |
defines additional (virtual) names for this server to be classified
as self-referrer URLs. The server's primary name (from
-S or -U) is pre-defined already. If vname
doesn't include a protocol specifier, two URLs with the
http and the https protocol specifier
are added for each name. To specify more than one server name
with a single -O option, use commas to separate them.
See also the VirtualNames
directive. |
| -P prolog |
use prolog as the prolog file for a yearly VRML model
(optional). The file 3Dprolog.wrl is included in the
distribution as an example. Note that the resulting VRML model
for a whole year may be suitable only for viewing on a fast
system such as a workstation. The monthly VRML models do not
need a prolog file and can be viewed on any platform without
problems. See also the VRMLProlog
directive. |
| -R docroot |
restrict logfile analysis to the given Document Root.
If docroot is prefixed by a `!', analysis
takes place for all directories except docroot.
If docroot does not start with a slash (`/'),
it is interpreted as the name of a virtual server, which is matched
against the normally unused second field of a logfile entry.
Intented for use with virtual servers with a separate Document Root
or for which the hostname is recorded in the second field of a
logfile entry. See also the DocRoot
directive. |
| -S srvname |
use srvname for the server name. If no server name is defined,
http-analyze uses the hostname of the system it is running on.
The server name must be a full qualified domain name, not an URL. See
also the ServerName directive. |
| -T TLDfile |
use TLDfile for the list of valid top-level domains (TLDs).
This list currently includes all ISO two-letter country domains,
the well-known domains .net, .int, .org,
.com, .edu, .gov, .mil, .arpa,
.nato, and the new CORE top-level domains .firm,
.info, .shop, .arts, .web, .rec
and .nom. The length of a top-level domain in the TLD file
may not exceed 6 characters. Since http-analyze uses its
built-in defaults if no TLD file is specified, you rarely will
need this option. See also the TLDFile
directive and the sample TLD file included in the distribution. |
| -U srvurl |
defines srvurl as the URL of the server to be used for
hotlinks in URL lists. Useful if the report for your web server
is published on another server. Also necessary for virtual
servers to have http-analyze generate correct hypertext links
in the report. See also the ServerURL
directive. |
| -W 3Dwin |
defines the window for the VRML model. The keyword 3Dwin
may be either extern or intern for display of
the VRML model in a new, external window or in the lower half
of the main frame respectively (meaningful only in the
frames-based interface). |
| -Z showdom |
defines showdom as the number of components in a domain
name which make up the organizational part. This is usually the
second-level domain, so that the last two components of
the domain name (for example, company.com) are used
as the organizationial part. However, some countries prefer to
use third-level domains, so that the hostnames use 4 or
more components, where the last 3 are used for the organizational
part (as in company.co.uk). To recognize such third-level
domains, showdom can be set to the value 3. Hostnames with
exactly 3 components will still be reduced to their second-level
domain if showdom is set to 3. |
| logfile(s) |
This are the name(s) of the logfile(s) to process. If more than
one file is given, they are processed in the order in which their
names appear on the command line. http-analyze checks for
the existance of all files before processing them. If a `-'
is specified as the filename, standard input is read. If no file is
given, the analyzer either processes the default logfile specified
in the configuration file or the standard input. |
