APACHELOGFORMAT is simply a mechanism for translating the line from the 
Apache configuration file into "native" Analog format. Whenever your 
Apache logformat string gets a bit complex, you're going to have to give 
up on the convenience of this automatic translation mechanism, and tell 
Analog exactly how it should interpret the logfile, by writing an Analog 
LOGFORMAT string, rather than relying on Analog to do the translation 
for you.

Try this LOGFORMAT
(%S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] "%j %r %j" %c %b "%f" "%B""%j" %D)
