[AWFFULL] Trouble when crossing monthly boundaries

[Anthony J. Biacco]

This may be a stupid question, but are you sure it's piping the logs to
awfull in chronological order? You might want echo out the filenames the
zcat is doing to check its giving them to you this way.

Now I'm not sure awffull requires this, but personally I always do it.
i.e. I don't process a log from may 4th, and then process a log from
may3rd next.

Subject: [AWFFULL] Trouble when crossing monthly boundaries

 

Hi Folks,

I'm keen to switch to awffull (from webalizer) but am having trouble
both with 3.8.1-beta3 (installed via apt-get) and awffull-3.8.2, built
from sources.

The problem, in brief: is that after running this command (using logs
from Apache2.0):

zcat ~test/oldlogs/access_log-20080[678]* |  ./src/awffull -v -p
--output=/home/test/weblogs  -


awffull produces messages like this every time a month boundary is
crossed:

awffull 3.8.2 (Linux 2.6.18-xen) English
Using logfile STDIN
Creating output in /home/dharmaseed/weblogs
Hostname for reports is 'dharmaseed.org'
Using CSS file: awffull.css
History file not found...
Previous run data not found...
Generating report for May 2008
CSS File "awffull.css" Exists. Not writing a new one.

Furthermore, it obliterates the graphic results from earlier months, and
the final result after running all my logs through it is graphic display
of data only for the last month. It's like it isn't parsing the e.g.
"-0400" timezone info correctly.

I reckon I must be doing something simple wrong, right?

Webalizer V2.01-10 seems to run fine on these logs.

Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

Thanks kindly,
Eric Woudenberg
