+'''NOTE: The formatting of the datafiles is important as the Custom Logs are basically free format: you can put into the file any text and numbers with any separator you wish. CUtils will NOT handle that Free Format in general. The user has to take care the information in the resulting datafiles is as follows:'''
   '''1) There MUST be at least one space between the numbers; '''
   '''2) There cannot be any plain text in the logfile'''
   '''The date/time will be untouched i.e. the format is: dd-mm-yy;hh:mm;'''
-'''NOTE: Be aware that for every webtag an entry in the datafile will be created for the period of number of hours you have defined for the charts. This may lead to large datafiles being transferred every interval, data duplication (data already present in the standard datafiles of CMX or CUtils) and high memory use and performance of your server while displaying the charts. So the user is warned to think about what he really wants to log and view.
