reading logs in google app engine

Question

after launching your app on google app engine. you can use the 'logs' page in the admin console to see a how many requests were made, any http:// 404 errors etc.

It's hard to make sense of how many visitors you really got and or others.

Am I missing something here ? Can somebody tell me how to read logs on a google app engine.

Many Thanks

Answer 1

The logs are not meant to control site visits. For that you should use google analytics.

Answer 2

In essence, google kinda expects you to use Google Analytics (being it their tool :-) )

What you could do however, is add some kind of loggin, where you'd simply write to a text-file, or call some kind of webservice that would do it for you.

Cheers

Answer 3

You can download request logs in Apache log format using the appcfg tool.
