Specifying the Date Format of Your Log Files

If you are analyzing Microsoft log files, you need to tell NetTracker in what format dates are stored in the log files. (For example, is July 10, 2004 stored as 10/07/04 or as 07/10/04?)

Note: This option is only for Microsoft log files in the IIS Standard/Extended log file format.

To specify the date format for your log files:
  1. Click the Options tab.
  2. In the left-hand panel, click Locale under Main.
  3. In the Log file date format list, select the date format for your log files.
  4. Click Save Options.
  5. If you want the new date format to apply to all new log file data that you import, click Continue. If you want the new date format to apply to log file data you have already imported, you will need to delete all of your profile data and reimport your log files. (Note: If you do not still have every log file that you have imported into this profile, you will lose profile data permanently by choosing this option.) To delete profile data, click Delete Profile Data.
