1. A method for establishing compatibility between heterogeneous web server access log formats, comprising:

  • supplying a description of an access log file of a web server, by;

    opening a customizable configuration file;

    if the access log is static, setting a log pattern definition to describe data elements, order, and syntax of log entries;

    if the access log is dynamic, setting a dictionary feature for a log pattern definition;

    saving and exiting the configuration file; and

    invoking a computer process, wherein the process in turn invokes a web server access log translation engine (WSALTE) which translates the described web server access log file to a desired log format and returns the translated file back to the computer process.
