in reply to A good way to parse Apache logs

Hmm,
this might not be what you want to hear, but anyway...
Do you really need to write YAALP (yet another apache logfile parser)? I think there must be mere millions of them out there (maybe even more than email- and irc-clients *grin*)

Of course this might be kind of a practice for you or you might need some information that those can't deliver. If so, please discard this posting to /dev/null :)

Regards... Stefan

    No, I think I'm not going to write a new logfile parser. Better, I'm not going to write a public available logfile parser. I think I'll write one just to learn why other parsers are better :)). What I'd like to find is the common used solution to perform this task (with solution I mean some composition of scripts and software, i.e. Perl + MySQL + something else...). And I'd like to know rationales that make this solution preferable.
