As I said earlier, for most websites, the "Bytes Received" is ignored, because it's usually trivial compared to the "Bytes Sent". Unless you are allowing people to upload files to your site (photos, or code submissions, for example), then you'll usually only get a couple of dozen bytes of request for every couple of Kbytes of response. As the Apache documentation confirms, you have to use the mod_logio extension, rather than the base mod_log_config, if you want to log the inbound bytes as well as the (default) outbound bytes.

Swapping the %I and the %b is the best way to get a report on the inbound bytes, if that information is important. You can't repotr on inbound and outbound bytes at the same time in Analog.
