Binklog :-: Binkley Log Statistics Generator : - : FREEWARE
--------------------------------------------

Binklog is useful for Nodes who want to keep an eye on how long they spend
networking , wether there are any problems during their network runs and
if they actually managed to connect with their hubs.

As well as the above Binklog is especially useful for Hubs or Hosts as they
can keep an eye on when Nodes call in and if a nodes calling time is
erratic or if they call each day or not ,then Binklog will show this up in
the tables produced.

Binklog will also check any incoming AKA's , so if you poll out and a node
has changed it's main domain or you usually poll a node and for some reason
they poll you but using a different network address that you are both in.
Then it will search the AKA lines for a matching address already known by
Binklog and if found ,the total in ,out ,time connects and entry on the
connection table will still be shown under it's old address.

This keeps the size of the reports produced to a minimum.

You can run Binklog at any time , if you only want to run it once a day then
I suggest that you run it in a batch file, or in an event that you run after
all your usual connects have polled in.

I run it in the batch file I use to process mail after each mailer connect
so I have an upto-date list of mailer connects at all times.

What Binklog does is produce the following tables by reading the binkley.log
file when run.

1. Incoming Mailers List

The Z/J stand for Janus or Zedzap connects
REQ shows an F against a node if they requested files
ERR shows a ! if the node had a error occour

The program is totally automatic , the Previous Days and Monthly Tables are
updated as soon as BINKLOG reads in an entry with a new date or month in it.

it requires a 7 line config file to be edited (example included in this
archive)

BINKLOG.CFG

g:\log\binkley.log
e:\turbo\network\callers.lst
e:\turbo\network\called.lst
e:\turbo\network\daily.lst
e:\turbo\network\monstat.lst
e:\turbo\network\moncon.lst

3.List of Nodes you called
4.Daily Stats (In/Out data sizes and total time on-line)
5.Monthly (same as number 4 but on-going current months totals and
           last months totals)
6.Monthly connect graph
7.Number of days to keep lists numbers 2 and 3 for before
  truncating them by 1 day per day

The files BINKLOG.CFG and BINKLOG.PRG can be placed anywhere , as long as
that is the current directory when you run BINKLOG.

Any problems and I can be contacted at the following addresses

FUTURE UPDATES
==============

The current setup uses plain ascii to hold the information , this ends up
with a 30-40K worth of space being used by the end of a month , this was
done this way to make any problems easy to identify , since only 1 bug has
been identified (and fixed) during the month that the program was released
I can now go about using word/byte/bit code to reduce that size dramaticaly.
