manyservers

This option is ONLY for use with servers that log several "virtual domains" to one file, using a separate field to indicate the server name, such as Microsoft IIS or Apache in certain configurations. It is not necessary for other servers.

manyservers

The manyservers option is used to specify that Wusage should recognize the virtual domain name field and reconstruct a complete URL. For instance, if the virtual domain name field contains:

www.foo.com

And the URL is:

/graphics/bar.gif

The URL will be rewritten as:

http://www.foo.com/graphics/bar.gif

This allows many virtual domains to be analyzed as part of one Wusage configuration. This is useful as a means of providing an overview for the system administrator. If you wish to provide separate reports for each virtual server, use the servername option instead.

VERY USEFUL NOTE: the directories report will show the overall usage for each virtual server in this configuration!

Wusage 6.0 will look for the virtual domain name in the following places:

For Microsoft IIS: in the standard place for this field under Microsoft IIS; this is a standard feature of Microsoft IIS when virtual domains are being served. Wusage 6.0 can also find this field in "extended log format" logs produced by IIS 4.0, but ONLY if the field is actually present.
At the end of each line of the log file, after all of the normal "common log format" fields, optionally in quotes. Wusage will look for this field among any "extra" fields in your log. See the server configuration tips section for more information.
In the almost never used "user ident" field (not the authenticated user name field, which is often used). Some servers can be configured to log the virtual domain name here. Wusage will recognize this if the servername option is present and this field contains a name with at least one dot (.).

If the servername option is present, Wusage will analyze only log entries that contain that server name. Otherwise, Wusage analyzes all valid log entries found.
