As others suggested, doing this at the application level is probably the right solution.
However, if you need to do this with existing data, that's not really an option. In that case, using a perl script is the way to go. I have one that counts sessions from the raw log data -- what you would need to do is modify it to look at the number of ACTIVE sessions every, say, five minutes. Let me know if you want my perl script as a starting point ... Tom Haapanen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Simon Redding [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday 11 July 2002 12:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [analog-help] Sessions (yes, I know) Hello there folks, Having been around the 'web works' documents on a number of occasions, I'm well aware of how the Internet works, so please don't flame me. On the other hand, I'm trying to establish concurrency for a pre-packaged J2EE web app (to record timesheets) which has Apache as a presentation tier. All the users are on a flat corporate Intranet, which has no proxies, IP address masking etc etc that would skew session/visit information. Normal time to complete the application (i.e. fill in a timesheet) would be about 10 minutes, with quite a lot of page requests in that time (it's not a great app). All I want to know is the number of 'concurrent users', which I would take to mean the number of sessions that have not timed out on the keep-alive (or at the application level are from an IP address which has sent a request in the last (say) 10 minutes). Can analog do this? Can anyone recommend a better package/solution? Can anyone save my sanity? ;"( Thanks Simon. ********************************************************************** This message is confidential as it contains information about the person we are sending it to.
