Someone is using webalizer here ?

Someone is using webalizer here to generate Apache statistics from the access_log (combined format) ?

I'm having trouble configuring it to generate the county pie graph, it sees all the IP ranges as "Unresolved/Unknown".

I also wasn't able to find any documentation for this part of the program.

Could someone offer a hand?
Thank you.


p.s. I wouldn't mind switching to a different stat generator, the only trouble is that this is a windows mid sized server (the logs are generated in house on the server).

The most common reason for this is that the webserver not doing name lookups. Just turn on name lookups on your webserver so it start to resolve names.

Thank you very much for the answer, now I at least know why it doesn't work.

As to causing Apache to do reverse lookups - wouldn't it cause a very high strain on the working server ?
Shouldn't I just run some script at the time of log generation for translating all the IP at once?
could you possibly suggest a tip or two for this script (bash preferred)


Again thank you, you've really helped me with your answer.

Yes, it will cause a high strain on the server. So you got 2 options.

1. Use a program to preprocess your logfiles. Logresolve is a program that comes with apache.

2. Use Webalizer ver. 2.00 with built in function to resolve hostnames. See how its done at
