How to Analyze Many *Daily* Log Files
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2005 5:32 pm
Suppose I have 31 daily log files that I want to analyze. They are ex041201.log, ex041201.log,...,ex041231.log.
I am running on Windows PC (not on server). The logs are in a directory on my machine.
I know how to analyze the logs one at a time and have the analysis be incremental, but I am wondering how to run the analysis for all 31 files at one time, via a .bat file or using the user interface for ALA.
I tried running a .bat file with 31 commands, each like this:
ala.exe -analyze:SiteName "-logpath=C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\SiteName\Logs\ex041211.log"
but it doesn't seem to work. Is my command line incorrect? If so, how would I do this.
A related question: we load balance on three servers, so I actually have ex041201 three times in three different directories. How would that affect my ability to analyze all my log files? In other words, in analyzing December, I actually have 93 files.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I did purchase the software and it is excellent. You should be proud of your results!
