Generally speaking:

A) Find the start of the session - usually the first "hit" from a given IP.
B) Find the end of the session for that IP - the last hit when the session
time limit is up
C) Get all the log entries between entry A and entry B for that IP
D) Analyze the resulting Log entries as desired.

Subject: [analog-help] session length, pages per session visit


| Programs like Webtrends and funnelweb can compute items like average
| session length in time, as well as number of requests per session, based
| on some preset session length you specify, such as 20 minutes, or 40
| minutes, or whatever. They also allow clickstream reports that allow you
| to see how a user moved "thru" your site during a session. I don't see
| that analog can do this type of thing, nor did I find that AWStats can
| (awstats.sourceforge.net). Neither can an Active Server Page based
| version.
|
| This type of information is critical to what we collect. Does someone at
| least know the algorithms used to create these types of measures, so I
| can recreate them as necessary? Any type of references to how different
| web statistics algorithms are calculated would be really helpful, as I
| don't have the ability to spend $2500 for the advanced FunnelWeb that
| can do this, and I also need to add in some additional customizations
| that they can't seem to do.
|
| Any help or references appreciated.
