** WebTrends Log Analyzer - Daily, Weekly, and Monthly reports **

please help ...

[benc007]

I am having a lot of trouble setting up WebTrends Log Analyzer to create daily, weekly, and monthly reports in HTML.

For the daily report, I am using getting the software to use the previous log file:

IN%DATE-1%%YY%%MM%%DD%.LOG

but I get an error:

IN%DATE-1%%YY%%MM%%DD%.LOG Please check the spelling of the log file and make sure that the file exists.

The file is there ... is there a problem with my syntax? Please help. Thank you in advance.

They way you have it, it looks like your log files would have be named like:

IN040121.log
IN040122.log
IN040123.log
etc.

My log files are named:

ex040118.log
ex040119.log
ex040120.log
ex040121.log
ex040122.log
ex040123.log

I am now using:

ex%%DATE-1%%YY%%MM%DD.log

but I am getting the same error.. please help.

Are you sure you have daily log files? Perhaps you have logs written on a weekly basis, or even monthly.

Check your log files to see exactly what is being written first.

I am sure I have all the log files. Is there a problem with my syntax?

[CMwebmaster]

The '%' should be around each variable, thus, I think it should look like this:

ex%DATE-1%%YY%%MM%%DD%.log

I still get the same error message ... =(

According to the Webtrends documentation, the syntax seems correct. The only difference is they have %date-1% in all lower case.

Is the profile looking in the right directory for your log files? can you test with some local log files to see if you can get it to work?

CMWebmaster,

I put all the log files into the root of C, and used the same syntax:

ex%DATE-1%%YY%%MM%%DD%.log

and everything is working now. Thank you! =)
