Sawmill was a software package for the statistical analysis and reporting of log files. Sawmill also incorporated real-time reporting and alerting.

Sawmill supported approximately 850 server log file formats. It included a page-tagging server and a JavaScript page tag for analyzing client-side clicks (client requests), providing a comprehensive view of visitor traffic and on-site activity.

Sawmill Analytics was offered in three forms: a software package for user deployment, a system appliance for use on-premises, and an application for software as a service (SaaS). Sawmill analyzed devices or software packages to produce a log file that included web servers, firewalls, proxy servers, mail servers, network devices, syslog servers, and databases.
