RE: Remote and local statistics

My problem is that the REQUEST REPORT does not include the redirected logs
(301).

Libraries want the following information about their online databases:
- How many local users are using the resources
- How many remote users are using the resources
- How much are the resources being used (both local and remote combined)

The REQUEST REPORT does not include the local "redirected" requests.  The
REDIRECTED REPORT will give a total of "requests" made, but not what
databases were accessed.

Example:
http://proxy.dupagels.lib.il.us/ob_proxyStats.html

What about this idea......

What if I change the response codes in the log files from redirected to
successful (301 to 200) which will give me all local and proxy requests in
the REQUEST REPORT.

Then if I want to differentiate between how many local requests as opposed
to proxy requests, I can somhow use the first part of the log entery (proxy
or local)

local 66.158.45.2 - - [15/Jul/2008:18:08:00 -0600] "HEAD
http://firstsearch.oclc.org/FSIP HTTP/1.1" 301 485

I don't necessarily need a graph for local and proxy users, just how many
requests per the designated time period.

The problem is, I'm not sure if there is a report that I can use from the
first part of this log entry.

My analog logformat is this:

APACHELOGFORMAT (%u %h %l %w %t "%r" %s %b)
APACHELOGFORMAT (%u %h %w %l %w %t "%r" %s %b)
APACHELOGFORMAT (%u %w %h %w %l %w %t "%r" %s %b)

I have to have the extra formats because for some reason certain log entries
have extra spacing and are recognised as corrupted.

Anyway, is it possible to generate a report based on the %u log variable to
show local and remote usage?
