[SOLVED]Problem with Config file for Read Server Log

Hi,
I have a log file in the following format:

112.135.255.32 - [06/Apr/2013:23:55:07 +0530] "POST /SVRClientWeb/ActionController HTTP/1.1" 200 14107 "https://www.example.com/SVRClientWeb/ActionController?sblparam=Z6spFdlqDbbbgtECSSpzHGTShMYdnVO7D7KyPZZBEmpeZSPuP20Ky7zr9jZXl1rnj+s5lCszddZe QtctW6Q5og==" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/26.0.1410.43 Safari/537.31" POST /SVRClientWeb/ActionController - HTTP/1.1 www.example.com

For the Read Server Log in Rapid Miner I have downloaded the two config files available at
http://sourceforge.net/p/polliwog/feature-requests/5/

But the process get stuck and stop running? I feel that these config files do not match with my log file format? How to solve my problem. Thanks in advance!

Probably the format of your file does not match the format defined in the config files. But anyway, the operator should not simply get stuck but give you a decent error message. Can you upload an excerpt of your server log somewhere such that we can try to reproduce the problem on your data?

I changed my log file according to the IIS log file Format : http://sourceforge.net/p/polliwog/feature-requests/5/
But it also didn't work. Has anybody tried using an IIS log file with RapidMiner??

Can you upload your updated logfile?

Your log file misses the sent bytes field at the very end of each line.

Hi Marius!

I have done lot of editing to both log files and to config files. Still couldn’t find a way to solve this. At first I removed the bytes sent part from the config file. Once it failed then i added a bytes sent to column to the logfile. After I entered column names to the log file according to the config file. Everything produces the same result as follows. The program get stuck and I have to use kill command in terminal to exit.

One other thing I'm using Rapidminer in Ubuntu 12.04. For Apache log files this works fine and I can get results. Problem is with the IIS log files.

Have you tried this with my log files?

Hey, I tried your log file, and if I added a random integer, e.g. 12, to the very end of each line, it worked perfectly. I can only test on Windows 7, though.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Marius
