The site statistics we create for you on a daily basis may not contain
the precise information you require. The data we provide online is useful for a general overview of what's happening on your site, however, processing your own logs gives you much more control over the statistical data you generate.
Your raw log files are available for download. They will be either "gzip" or "bzip2" compressed, depending on their age.
For customers on FreeBSD and Mac OS X hosting servers (including Butternut, Souari, and Silverpine):
Logs for the current month are gzip compressed, and are available at:
http://server.forest.net/stats/username/username-logYYYYMM.gz
Let's assume your account is on the server "souari.forest.net" and your username is "scooter":
http://souari.forest.net/stats/scooter/scooter-log199905.gz
Logs for previous months are bzip2 compressed, and are available at:
http://server.forest.net/stats/username/username-logYYYYMM.bz2
Following our example of user "scooter" on the souari server:
http://souari.forest.net/stats/scooter/scooter-log199905.bz2
For customers on all other servers:
Logs for the current month are gzip compressed, and are available at:
http://stats.forest.net/server/username/username-logYYYYMM.gz
If your account was on the server "teak.forest.net" and your username is "scooter", the URL would be:
http://stats.forest.net/teak/scooter/scooter-log199905.gz
Logs for previous months are bzip2 compressed, and are available at:
http://stats.forest.net/server/username/username-logYYYYMM.bz2
Following our example for the user "scooter" on the Teak server:
http://stats.forest.net/teak/scooter/scooter-log199905.bz2
Utilities for decompressing gzip files are commonly available for all platforms (StuffIt Expander can do the job on a Mac). StuffIt Expander can also decompress bzip2 files; other utilities for decompressing bzip2 files are available at:
