Thank you all!
I downloaded the pages-logging.xml.gz and the data looks good!
May I ask another question? In order to analyze the data, I'd like to transform it to SQL. I've found a java and a pearl tool, but both are not made to transform the logging.xml to sql. Are you aware of another tool that I can use, or maybe an instruction to follow?
Or maybe there is another tool you can think of that I can use to analyze the information in a performant way?
Once again, thanks a lot for your help, really appreciate it.
