Analog is a program with processes webserver access logs, performs DNS lookup, and outputs HTML reports. Analog should already be installed. A modified configuration file is included in - the OpenACS tarball.

[root src]# su - $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME + the OpenACS tarball.

Edit /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/etc/analog.cfg and change the variable in HOSTNAME "[my organisation]" to reflect your website title. If you don't want the traffic log to be publicly visible, change OUTFILE /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/www/log/traffic.html to use a private -directory. You'll also need to edit all instances of service0 to your $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME.

Run it.
