  • Post parsing reporting - Most log analyzers fall into this category. The log files are parsed and all the reports are generated after that - usually on a scheduled basis. This can put great strain on a computer as the parsing and reporting are done in one go. This is usually done during a quiet period and the reports are often more than a couple of hours old.

  • Real-time, on-demand Reporting (sometimes called "Live reporting") - SurfStats and WebTrends have products in this category. The log files are parsed to a database in the background. A report is only generated when requested. This type of analyzer is usually more suited for many users as it places less strain on a server.
