The only requirement is "Your log file must contain required information".<br>
This is example of possible log format:<br>
<i>
-Apache combined log format (known as NCSA combined log format or XLF or ELF format) (See FAQ for this format)<br>
+Apache combined log format (known as NCSA combined log format or XLF or ELF format)<br>
IIS 5.0+ log format (known as W3C format)<br>
Webstar native log format<br>
ProFTP server<br>
-...<br>
+A lot of web/wap/proxy servers log format<br>
Apache common log format (AWStats can now analyze such log files but such log files does not contain all information
AWStats is looking for. The problem is in the content, not in the format). I think analyzing common log files is not
interesting because there is a lot of missing information: no way to filter robots, find search engines, keywords, os, browser.
-But a lot of users asked me for it, so AWStats support it. However, a lot of interesting advanced features can't work: browsers, os's, keywords, robot detection...).
