If you prefer to manually edit your configuration files, use the following syntax for this option:

logfiles
/path/to/first/file/or/directory
/path/to/second/file/or/directory
end logfiles

#First example: typical IIS configuration with an entire directory of logs
logfiles
C:/WINNT/W3SVC/LOGS
end logfiles
#Second example: typical Apache configuration with one log file
logfiles
/etc/httpd/logs/access_log
end logfiles
#Third example: fetch log files via FTP from directories
#on three mirror servers
logfiles
ftp://account:password@mirror1.mycompany.com/logs/
ftp://account:password@mirror2.mycompany.com/logs/
ftp://account:password@mirror3.mycompany.com/logs/
end logfiles

Wusage needs a source of web server log data in order to produce reports. The Log Files and Directories ^(logfiles) option is used to indicate where the log data should be found.

New in Wusage 7.0, the Log Files and Directories ^(logfiles) option allows more than one log file location to be specified. Any combination of directories and individual files may be specified using this option. Wusage will analyze all of the log files found.

Note that, in addition to ordinary file paths, http: and ftp: URLs can also be specified. Using the configuration editor, one can conveniently browse both FTP sites and web sites to locate log files. This powerful feature allows administrators of large websites to fetch log files from multiple mirror servers, via FTP or HTTP.
