Technical Information

New Features

• Windows® Vista Support
  Installs and runs on Microsoft® Windows Vista
• Export to Block List
  Export any list of sites to a Microsoft ISA URL Set or to a Hosts file. ISA URL sets can be imported into Microsoft ISA and used in firewall rules. Hosts files can be deployed to problem PCs to redirect browsing to a specified IP Address.
• Anonymize users on Import
  To protect privacy, user information can be anonymized on import. Usernames and email addresses are replaced with an MD5 sum (such as f96027794b7b97711c093fe1fc7b7dca)
• Don't Email Reports Greater Than N MB Specify the maximum email attachement size before reports are automatically emailed.
• Date Modifiers for Storage & Report Names
  Use date modifiers such as -1m (last month) or -7d (last week) when creating storage names and specifying which storage to report on. Syntax is %[modifer,dateformat]. For example “My Storage %[-1m,yyyy-mm]” will create a storage name of “My Storage 2007-09” if created in October 2007.
• MHT Report Format
  Create packaged Web reports in MHT format. MHT provides an alternative to the WebSpy Report Format (WSR) that requires the installation of WebSpy report viewer components. MHT files are natively supported by Internet Explorer 5 and above.
• Loose HTML Report Format
  Create non-packaged Web reports (html file, and a folder containing all graphics and other resources). These reports can be viewed in browsers other than Internet Explorer, and can be published to a web server's file system for publishing to an Intranet site.
• Compressed Reports
  Compress your reports using zip compression. This makes reports easier to send via email and reduces the disk space necessary to store your reports.
• Importing Compressed Log Files in Analyzer Premium
  Analyzer Premium can now import compressed log files such as zip and gzip. This feature has previously only been avialable in Analyzer Giga.
• Schedule Imports from a CSV file into Aliases
  Update CSV files using your own internal processes and automatically import them into aliases via a scheduled task.
• Filter Windows Username imports by Group
  You can now filter by specific groups when importing Windows users from Active Directory. Previous versions imported all users into the Usernames alias by default.
• Miscellaneous optimizations and bug fixes
  In addition to the above features, Analyzer 2.3/4.3 delivers all the improvements and optimizations made since the last public release of Analyzer 2.2/4.2 which was released as an automatic update on the 27th of February 2006.
