[Zope] More info for newbies on Zope's Z2.log file

[James Bragg]

Hello everyone!

I finally got Sawmill, a website stats package, (www.sawmill.net) up and 
running with Zope 2.5.1. 

FYI: The Z2.log file format is almost Identical to the Apache Combined log 
file format. There is a subtle difference in some of the separators at the 
end of the line where the client browser and OS information are located.  
Sawmill compensatea for this, and its a non issue. 

TIP: When you first setup sawmill, just set it up to import one log file. It 
will automatically detect the format. What was blowing my install out was 
that I had told Sawmill to suck in an entire directory of log files. By 
reading just the Z2.log file it was able to determine the format. After that, 
I went back and added the my log archive directory and it was able to bring 
all of the files in. 

Live and learn, I hope others find this helpful.
