Is there a better method of outputting report and the base data.

If you open the log files in a program like Excel the values of the items being monitored are text because of the format i.e. 100ms for 100 milliseconds. this doesnt make for easy reporting

It would be nice to have the ability to print the graphs!

What type of log do you use? DBF log has "Reply" and "Reply time" fields. First one is string value, but second field is numeric.

Log file is set to Text.

Guess I should try DBF then.
What file format is that? and will it reduce my daily 100Mb log files!

Yes, DBF is better for import operations

>What file format is that?

Data Base File. This is native database for dBase, FoxPro. Many DMS understand DBF format and can import it.

>and will it reduce my daily 100Mb log files!

I am afraid not. Text log the most compact.

>It would be nice to have the ability to print the graphs!

Do you mean chart from Log Analyzer window?

Is there a way to save the reports in version 3 to a webfolder?

I am thinking to auto update the company intranet every 10 mins with an upto date report

Current version can save reports to local or shared folders only.
I think in future versions will be implemented "upload file (FTP)" action.
