Despite all my appeals for logical and meaningful statistics, my bosses insist that
they need a report that measures time of user sessions, a la WebTrends. They've
defined this for me as the length of time from the first request from a particular
host to the last, with any time between requests of more than 30 minutes to count as a
separate session.
What's the easiest and least expensive, in terms of time and effort, way to satisfy
this requirement? Anyone have a separate perl or other script that would do it or that
I could modify? Anything out there that would work with analog's configuration files?
I've thought of just using WebTrends, but as far as I know, it's operation can't be
automated as well as I've been able to do with analog and other Unix programs. This is
a big consideration for me.
Please don't flame the messenger; I know the output of this report is meaningless.
However, I was unable to persuade my bosses of this, so my job now is to satisfy their
request as best I can.
Thank you for your suggestions for my problem.
