John,

We have the hosts report turned on, which results in the following summary
block (this from a test site).

Successful requests: 424,719 
Average successful requests per day: 204,409 
Successful requests for pages: 213,995 
Average successful requests for pages per day: 102,991 
Failed requests: 3,112 
Redirected requests: 522 
Distinct files requested: 52 
Distinct hosts served: 308 
Corrupt logfile lines: 37 
Unwanted logfile entries: 533,981 
Data transferred: 328.631 Mbytes 
Average data transferred per day: 158.164 Mbytes 

Distinct hosts gives some idea, but it is skewed by proxies serving multiple
users, but would account for users surfing two or more of your sites.

We also do a "composite" report from analog reading all the log files from
275 sites on same server. This would total all hosts served, but with same
proxy skewing problem.

Cheers

Simon West

Subject: [analog-help] Best way to show unique visitors/traffic....





Since we host over 300 Web sites (NT)and each site generates its own
logfile, I'd like to get a report that totals the total traffic on the
server. I can do this by using a program we have that creates an analog
report for each Web. Curretly I only total the Data transferred. What I'd
like to see is a total of unique visitors or traffic. I know that a total of
unique vistitors is almost an impossibility (an accurate one nayway) but
which piece of summary information below would I want to total to get a
close approximation? Would it be Successful requests, Distinct files
requested?

General Summary
---------------
(Figures in parentheses refer to the 7 days to 02-Mar-2001 23:25).
Successful requests: 32,881 (6,387)
Average successful requests per day: 1,174 (912)
Logfile lines without status code: 9 (0)
Failed requests: 231 (74)
Distinct files requested: 160 (110)
Corrupt logfile lines: 1
Data transferred: 455,079,248 bytes (91,515,981 bytes)
Average data transferred per day: 16,256,458 bytes (13,073,711 bytes)


Thanks anyone,
