We are currently evaluating WebLog Expert and are having some issues which would prevent a purchase of the software. Logs are generated by IBMIHS (IBM web service base on apache) The log format from httpd.conf is :

%h %l %u %t \"%m %U %H\" \"%q\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %D \"%C\"

Weblog Expert is not correctly detecting the browser string. Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated.

Have you tried to enter the log format as custom Apache format? You can do it in Profile Properties > Log Files, you need to choose "Apache" as log format, click "Custom..." to the right of it, choose "Custom" as log format and enter the format string.

If it doesn't work correctly, could you send a sample log file from your site to us to support@weblogexpert.com so we check it?

We got this working after emailing support. I was doing as above but using the format string as it was in httpd.conf but it required some tweaking.

In case it can help anyone else out the correct string is:

%h %l %u %t \"%r\" \"%q\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %D \"%C\"
