Analysis

Explanation

WT 4.5

Virtual WT 3.5

Real-time analysis

Analyzes log files in real-time as data is added -- as a standard application, WinNT service, or W Win95 background application.

Fastest log analysis available -- 15 - 28 MB/minute

Analyzes over a 4 Gbytes log file (40 million hits a day) in less than an hour.

FastTrends^TM caching database

Stores only the analysis results in a database (unlike log analyzers which import the log file into a database) so subsequent analysis of the same data takes seconds - never analyze the same data twice!

One-pass analysis

Not needing to import logs into a database makes the analysis very fast.
