RE: Help on reporting failures correctly from Xferlog format

Hi,

Well, I have figured out one way around this and that is to convert the last character in the log to an http return code.  I didn't want to have to do that, but it seems to work and then obviously I added a %c to the LOGFORMAT command.  If anyone knows of another way to do this without changing the input file(s), please let me know.

So I Changed from this:
Tue May  6 00:01:11 2008 1 adsl-71-146-156-211.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net 0 /ftp/ftp2/pub/information_storage/software/fwrev.bin b _ o a IEUser@ ftp 0 * c
Tue May  6 00:01:18 2008 9 183.red-83-32-231.dynamicip.rima-tde.net 32768 /ftp/ftp2/pub/softpaq/sp33501-34000/sp33867.exe b _ o a IEUser@ ftp 0 * i

To:
Tue May  6 00:01:11 2008 1 adsl-71-146-156-211.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net 0 /ftp/ftp2/pub/information_storage/software/fwrev.bin b _ o a IEUser@ ftp 0 * 200
Tue May  6 00:01:18 2008 9 183.red-83-32-231.dynamicip.rima-tde.net 32768 /ftp/ftp2/pub/softpaq/sp33501-34000/sp33867.exe b _ o a IEUser@ ftp 0 * 404



thanks,

Subject: Help on reporting failures correctly from Xferlog format

Hi,

Analog 6.0 is working great, except that it is not reporting failures.  In fact, when I parse the FTP (xferlog) logfiles, it reports that they were all successful.  Is there anything that I can do to either fix the logfiles themselves (would prefer not to do this), or is there something I can do with the LOGFORMAT to tell it how to do this correctly.

Here is an excerpt of the logfile:

Tue May  6 00:01:07 2008 1 d75-157-1-2.bchsia.telus.net 0 /ftp/ftp2/pub/information_storage/software/fwrev.bin b _ o a IEUser@ ftp 0 * c
Tue May  6 00:01:11 2008 1 adsl-71-146-156-211.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net 0 /ftp/ftp2/pub/information_storage/software/fwrev.bin b _ o a IEUser@ ftp 0 * c
Tue May  6 00:01:18 2008 9 183.red-83-32-231.dynamicip.rima-tde.net 32768 /ftp/ftp2/pub/softpaq/sp33501-34000/sp33867.exe b _ o a IEUser@ ftp 0 * i

Here is an excerpt of the configuration file that I am using:

LOGFORMAT (%j %M %d %h:%n:%j %Y %t %S %b %r %j %j o %j %u ftp %j %j)
LOGFORMAT (%j %j %j %j %j %j %j %j %j %j %j i%j)
LOGFILE C:\data\hpdotcom\temp\may6\*.xferlog
OUTFILE Report2.html
HOSTNAME "HP.COM FTP Analysis of May 6, 2008"
#
# You probably don't need to change anything below this until you are
# experienced.
#
ERRFILE errors.txt
GENSUMLINES ALL
...

Lastly, the report looks like this:


Successful requests: 3,652,172
Average successful requests per day: 1,787,602
Successful requests for pages: 17,901
Average successful requests for pages per day: 8,761
Distinct files requested: 31,498
Distinct hosts served: 759,657
Corrupt logfile lines: 1
Data transferred: 25.32 terabytes
Average data transferred per day: 12.39 terabytes

Thank you in advance,

kimmer
