Hello,
Brand new user of Matomo here 
I wanted to explore posibility of use of Matomo for our company needs so before we btry and buy some of needed features that Matamoto offers i installed brand new installation and then did some testing with basic stuff.
It is dedicated VPS server, CentOS 7 and rest of the data is:
System Summary
Matomo version: 5.2.2
MySQL version: 8.4.4
PHP version: 8.3.8
I also set up Log Analytics and python3 because that is very interested to us to be able to analyse raw log files from Apache/Nginx and IIS.
I have tested first website with wordpress plugin tracking and it is working perfectly. Next i tested LogAnalyse with IIS and Apache logs. Yes they are seperate websites in Matomo.
The problem is that i analyse data with folowing command:
python /opt/matomo-import-logs/import_logs.py --url=ht.tps://serverhostname/ --idsite=4 --token-auth=tokencreated --recorders=4 --enable-http-errors --enable-http-redirects --enable-static --enable-bots /opt/matomo-import-logs/logfiles/fc/*
I get finishing report of import:
Logs import summary
5188232 requests imported successfully
44403 requests were downloads
0 requests ignored:
0 HTTP errors
0 HTTP redirects
0 invalid log lines
0 filtered log lines

0 requests to static resources (css, js, images, ico, ttf...)

Processing your log data
In order for your logs to be processed by Matomo, you may need to run the following command:
./console core:archive --force-all-websites --url='ht.tps://serverhostname/'
And wheh i start processing:
su apache -s /bin/bash -c “/usr/bin/php /var/www/html/matomo/console core:archive --force-all-websites --url=ht.tps://serverhostname/”
I get end response:

(dot in ht.tps is there deliberately because forum dont alow posting links)
But if i go to dashboard to that site, nothing is shown. Both sites (IIS log and apache log) same situation, no errors but also no data/reports. In apache logs there are no errors. In Matomo also no errors. Going in circles here
So for sure i did something wrong or i missed some steps, so if anyone can help me i would appreciate it
Thank you all in advance!
