Well the apache log format is configurable. I don't know why the
analysis products stuck with the weird default.

Usually you work around this by placing apache as frontend to zope -
which makes a log things easy (simple balancing, switching, virtual
hosting, ssl, ...  to name just a few) and last not least configurable
logging. You can completely disable Z2.log.

For no good reason, many log analyzer do not look on mime-information
of the request but try to find out by inspecting the suffix of the url,
thy of course als don't know that /foo and /foo/ in zope really means
the same thing and so on. Sane log analysis makes a good deal of work
I can tell you.

Good luck
