RE: [analog-help] Analog Report Help Unique Visits
Okwell say I had the user name in the log along with the IP...then it is possible to get some sort of a visit count that would be closer to the session count that I'm looking for rather than the number of requests. With that said, rules could also be made for inactivity time to denote time frames of inactivity to denote one session from another in the case of a user visiting your site from the same ip, and with those 3 things combined you could possibly get a visit or session count. -Original Message- From: Stephen Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 10:46 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [analog-help] Analog Report Help Unique Visits On Thu, 6 May 2004, Potozniak, Andrew wrote: Is there anyway to get analog to report on unique visits?

Re: [analog-help] Analog Report Help Unique Visits
Methods like this are pretty arbitrary and often inaccurate unless you have a web site that uses sessions. If you do have a user name or session key in the log files, you can use a custom logformat (http://analog.cx/docs/logfmt.html) do assign the %u (user) variable to that data. Then your User Report will at least tell you how many total keys you have and the number of requests/page/bytes for each key that it shows. -- Jeremy Wadsack MCS, LLC Potozniak, Andrew wrote: Okwell say I had the user name in the log along with the IP...then it is possible to get some sort of a visit count that would be closer to the session count that I'm looking for rather than the number of requests.

Hi Andrew,
This comes up from time to time - here is a previous thread you might find
useful.

Like many other webserver statistics, you cannot analyze what has not been
collected.
It is possible to a) define, and b) log, a great variety of things,
including the passage of a particular browser session (but not window)
through a website. To do this requires user cooperation (they must enable
cookies), special website coding (e.g. adding a single pixel image generated
by your favourite scripting language - php, perl, asp, etc.), special
logging (by the script), and then analysis. We provide this as a (no charge)
service for our partner organizations - in order to obtain reasonably
comparable web visitor statistics.
We designed the logfiles to be easily analyzed using analog - works
wonderfully. We are just aiming to count visitors - but with an additional
custom log analysis step, we could evaluate the time between the first and
last page request.
Please contact me directly for information.

Yes, it's clear. The problem is that there is no way to tell if two requests
were from the same user, or from different users. Sometimes it can look as
if two requests were from the same user, but really they were from different
users. Sometimes it can looks as if the requests were from different users,
but really they were from the same user.
