We recently announced that our Analyzer Range is due to be removed from our product portfolio. Removed in this instance means that the Analyzer range will become a legacy product, we’ll stop selling and promoting the range and get rid of a big chunk of Analyzer information from our website. This is nothing that will happen overnight but we want to make all stakeholders aware of the upcoming changes at an early stage. (more…)

Video: Setup a complete Internet monitoring solution in less than 15 minutes!
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009
Here’s a video I put together demonstrating how to get up and running with a complete monitoring and reporting solution in less than 15 minutes. The video demonstrates three products: WebSpy Sentinel, for complete data capture, WebSpy Live for real time alerts, and WebSpy Analyzer Standard for analysis and reporting.
We’ve got a great deal at the moment where you get 20% off Live and Sentinel if you purchase them online with Analyzer Standard.
Convert Microsoft ISA 2006 MSDE logs to WebSpy compatible text logs
Monday, July 20th, 2009
Some customers have experienced issues converting their ISA MSDE logs to text using Microsoft’s MSDEToText.vbs script for ISA 2006 (available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=23531736-942f-466c-acb3-861a899d37b4&displaylang=en)
If you convert your logs to text using this script, they won’t import into WebSpy Vantage or Analyzer due to an extra line break in the header of the file (after #fields:).
We’ve therefore created a modified version of the script that creates compatible log files for WebSpy software.
Download the modified MSDEToText script:
MSDEToText.zip -26 KB
Also make sure the file names of your output log files contain the word WEB (for Web Proxy logs) or FWS (for Firewall Logs) as Analyzer and Vantage use these strings to automatically detect the type of ISA log file.
Happy converting!

Updates to Vantage, Analyzer & Live
Friday, April 17th, 2009
We’ve issued a bunch of auto updates for nearly all WebSpy products today
Of particular note is a fix to the Vantage range:
- Fix: Improved partition matching when filtering by a date range
This will benefit you if you’re running reports with a date range filter such as last week or yesterday (which is pretty much everyone), and are using the default storage partitioning scheme of “Date” (again… pretty much everyone). (more…)
