Can you post 2 or 3 lines from your logfile? Analogs debug output 
usually makes it possible to figure out any discrepancies in the log format.

Analog can be configured to read log files from most web servers (Analog 
predates Apache). It's sometimes possible to use it to parse log files 
that aren't web server logs, but that depends on the format of the 
logfiles, and the type of information you're actually interested in.
