Reports show information on time range and log files specified in the profile properties only. However, if the program detects that there are new log files that match mask specified in the profile properties, it analyzes them and add to database without reanalyzing old log files.

In most cases we recommend to set the program to analyze all activity (as time range) and all log files available for a site (e.g. by setting log path to C:\Logs\*.log if log files are stored in the C:\Logs folder).

Well, If I would like the program analyzed the newer log files, and add to database also with the old log files that analyzed. So that I no need reanalyze the old log files.
Can the program do this? Thanks.

But if I analyze all activity, will it re-analyze all logs or in other words will it treat all logs as new logs to re-analyze.

I concern this as it take too much time for me to analyze all activity.

If you set the program to analyze all activity, it will analyze only new log files automatically, while you need to keep your old log files anyway. You can find detailed information on how it works at http://www.weblogexpert.com/help/wlex...

I have download and installed the geolocation databases (City and state database and Organization database) from the following link: http://www.weblogexpert.com/download....

After that, I try to analyze all logs that include analyzing already processed logs, but the program still automatically reanalyze all log files. I just want analyzes the new log files. How can I do?

As you installed the geolocation databases, the program needs to reanalyze all log files to create city/state/country reports using the databases for old log file too. However, if you install newer versions of the databases, the program won't reanalyze old log files.

The program also needs to reanalyze old log files if some important settings are changed as described at http://www.weblogexpert.com/help/wlex...

You can check for newer versions of databases using the Help > Check for Updates command from the main menu.
