Description
paste.translogger is documented as writing logs in Apache combined log format. However, that would specify the following as the date format:
[day/month/year:hour:minute:second zone]
day = 2*digit
month = 3*letter
year = 4*digit
hour = 2*digit
minute = 2*digit
second = 2*digit
zone = (+' | -') 4*digit
Instead, translogger uses this format:
[wday month day hour:minute:second year]
wday = 3*letter
month = 3*letter
day = 2*digit
hour = 2*digit
minute = 2*digit
second = 2*digit
year = 4*digit
Because of this, log analysis programs like webalizer cannot parse these logs. A patch will be attached when this ticket is created.
