I think Aengus replied well on that and the logfile issue.

Well, we use EZProxy's default log format, which is handled well by Analog.  I have considered using the LogSPU to create a second log file with a different subset/modset of data, but have not done so yet.  Since you are modifying the logformat for the default file, you will need to modify the logformat command for Analog to match, as Aengus pointed out.  You can also refer to
http://analog.cx/docs/logfmt.html
for more details on that.

Start exploring the logformat command options, and aengus' example.   Then see what information Analog's output adds to your understanding or confusion. :)   This list is full of very helpful people who can assist in working through the final stages of cobwebs if needed. 

Oh, and once you start getting functional information from Analog, you might be interested in a few of the specific settings I used for our Analog-generated EZProxy stats reports - I will be glad to share config files with you..
