Analog Helper is a graphical configuration tool for Analog, which is a free program 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.

Analog Helper can also configure Report Magic for more advanced HTML reporting, automatically configuring Analog to output data for Report Magic, writing Report Magic's config file and running Report Magic. However, you need not be aware of any of this process; simply set up your analysis as required in Analog Helper, and it will do the rest of the work.

Analog Helper can also import your old Analog configuration files so that you have an easier way to adjust existing configurations. But Analog Helper extends Analog's functionality by allowing multiple configurations to be maintained, integrating Report Magic and optionally splitting analyses up into separate daily, weekly, monthly, or annual reports.

Analog Helper contains context-sensitive help for all of the available options, which can be toggled from the Help menu. If you do not know what a configuration option does, move the mouse over it and a description with examples will appear below. Analog Helper also contains more detailed help, available from the Help menu. For details on Analog itself, you may want to consult the documentation which comes with the Analog download.
