Publisher's Description
From Flowerfire:
Sawmill is a powerful, hierarchical log analysis tool for Windows 95/NT, MacOS, and UNIX. It is particularly well suited to web server access and referrer logs, but can process almost any log. It runs either with a built-in web server, or as a CGI program on your web server, and publishes an intuitive graphical user interface which can be used from any web browser to configure and run Sawmill, or to view the statistics pages. The statistics pages are hierarchical, attractive, and heavily crosslinked for easy navigation. Complete documentation is built directly into the program. Sawmill provides an extensive set of features, including a persistent database, fine control over the appearance of stats pages, and versatile log filtering options.
What's new in this version:
- [1279136] A Pages report, with a Page field as a pivot, gives an error like, "Can't find tableAlias=rep_*, fieldName= in table rep_*"
- [1283035] Clicking "Save as New Report" has no effect on the first click, when using Internet Explorer 8 (it works on the second click).
- [1283229] If a profile uses an MSSQL database, the Create Profile Wizard will not allow a space in the profile name.
- [1283766] Import through the web UI of a Sawmill 7 database with sessions... See all new features

"Strangely horrible"
Version: Sawmill 7.1.7
Pros
It had the standard analysis tools you would expect
Cons
Took way too much time to operate on my high end, high bandwidth system. The software compromises many key operating system components and this software is far too unstable to receive a good rating. Seems to piggy back off key XP operating system and dot.net components that risk deletion when the program is removed. Removing the program seemed to delete critical DLLS.For example, upon removing the program, my computer alerted me that that my configuration had changed. Other programs, which rely on specific configurations for licensing, ceased to operate upon removal of sawmill. The final evaluation is that the program sawmill is very well named. It seemed to put my very expensive system and software licenses through a sawmill. This company needs to reevaluate not only how well its program operates, it needs to evaluate how its program compromises other software and licensing rights a user may retain. Until the company reevaluates its programming, and fundamentally, its operating ethics, it should recall this product.

"Excellent"
Version: Sawmill 7.2.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Excellent server log application for Mac. I've tried several (in fact all available) for Mac and found this nearly as good as Urchin, which is prohibitively expensive for non-commercial users. The only pick I have is that the DNS lookup could be better--often it returns only the IP of the visitor and not the DNS name, although the name is found easily on Whois. Very stable, great documentation, frequent updates Highly recommended. -
"Stick with 6.5"
Version: Sawmill 7.0.7
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I foolishly upgraded to v7. It is more difficult and less intuitiuve to set up. I would suggest sticking with older version. My ratings are for new version the older is a 5* product. -
"Works, but look and feel missing"
Version: Sawmill 7.0b16
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I guess maybe I am just too picky, but I was hoping through all of these versions, the look and feel would have gone to a much higher level. Nicer looking graphs and charts would be so nice at this point. -
"Won't work in Safari"
Version: Sawmill 6.5
Summary
It links to a website whose Java links won't work with Safari. You'd think they would have tested this before putting it up.

"Excellent."
Version: Sawmill 6.5b5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This program must be the best in its class for analyzing web server logs. What's more, the support is really excellent.
