Analog Helper is a graphical configuration tool for Analog 3, which is a free tool to analyze the logfiles from your web server. Analog Helper lets you control and preview the results of hundreds of settings, and means you need not touch the complex syntax of Analog's configuration files.
Analog itself was written by Stephen Turner and ported to Mac by Jason T. Linhart. It tells you which pages are most popular, which countries people are visiting from, which sites they tried to follow broken links from, etc... It is the fastest and most flexible such tool available.
Requirements
• An Apple Macintosh, Power Macintosh, Performa, PowerBook or other MacOS-compatible.
• System 7 or later.
• Analog 3 or later.
