Hi,
I've been asked to report on a user's (mis)activity - we use analog
to analyse outgoing web activity - during core work hours - for
example, between 09:00 and 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00, over a period of
three months. Because of data volumes (500Mb per day) I've extracted
all web access by the user into three monthly files.
I could further filter out the log entries from the source files, but
hoped that I could do it in Analog. I was hoping that this could be
done using the From/To options, or a TIMEINCLUDE but it doesn't look
like it.
The hourly summary will give you total activity per hour, but if you
want the full analog detail (domain, page, etc), I'd recommend using
grep or whatever to pre-filter the source files for the hours you want.
You don't mention weekends, but they could be a consideration too.
What I (really, the user's line management) want is a list of sites
accessed (I only report total activity by the host part of the URL (eg
www.analog.cx) using the Directory report, as I have a separate PERL
script to generate a list of individual pages accessed in sequence) by
the user during work hours to see if they've been browsing non-work
material (such as sports or travel sites) when they should have been
doing real work - they don't really care what the person was doing
outwith that time, and we want to exclude activity during those hours.
If it had been for one day, I could have used the FROM/TO settings.
This data is already analysed for the Day and Hour reports. If you read
this, it may be worth considering this as an enhancement request for a
future version, Stephen.
DAYINCLUDE (select values between 1 and 7 to include only accesses on
those days - might want to report just on weekend activity, or weekday
activity - single number ("5" for Thursday, say), comma-separated list
("2,3" for Monday and Tuesday only), or "1-6" for weekdays - may depend
on whether Sunday or Monday is the first day of the week, and whether
you number from 0 or 1)
HOURINCLUDE (select values between 0 and 23 - to report activity during
specific periods of the day - don't think I'd want it down to minutes,
though, but some might. 0 would be anything between 00:00:00 and
00:59:59. Formats as above)
Using a combination of the two would certainly give me the level of
reporting I've been asked for.
Thanks.
Wallace.
