>- see footer for list info -< As an aside...as I have now officially left Capgemini (I will be resubscribing to the mailing lists soon with a new address) I am getting all my capgemini mail forwarded to a Gmail account.
Gmail, as you may know, has some email-content related adverts down the side of the page. The two ads it came up with for this email was a link to netiq.com (Webtrends manuf.) - I guess you have looked on here Chris? But the other link is for a 'Web Analytics Solution' at www.sane.com so it might be worth checking out? ______________________________________________________ Richard Lovelock | Capgemini | Southbank Senior Applications Analyst | Web Support, Westminster City Council Office: 0870 906 7482 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 95-97 Wandsworth Road, London, SW8 2HG Join the Collaborative Business Experience ______________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lovelock, Richard J Sent: 03 January 2005 13:08 To: Coldfusion Development Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] OT: Website logfile reporting software. >- see footer for list info -< Chris We have experienced something similar. We were running webtrends 5 with main license and two additional licenses (we have one app server and two web servers in a cluster) We then upgraded the whole infrastructure and wanted to monitor an additional server but webtrends 5 was out of date. So we were told this is what we had to do: -upgrade main software to v6.5 -buy the 'Essential Care' support for the year for that license -buy two new 'Essential Care' plans for the other two licenses - purchase an additional license for the extra new webserver - purchase an 'Essential Care' plan for the new license The total of this little lot was quite a lot as you can imagine and all we wanted to do was monitor one additional server when we were happy with the existing setup. All the new license keys and software are sitting at my work waiting to be installed but I have just taken Voluntary Redundancy and I have got to go in tomorrow for my last day and try and give someone a heads-up on how to install and configure all this (and I don't really know myself). It certainly seems like a huge pelava and cunning marketing ploy. I understand that sometimes older versions of software are not going to be supported by manufacturers but I think that this takes it to the extreme a little. Chris, you may want to speak to the guys at Highlander.co.uk - they helped me out with my purchasing/config needs and they have a Webtrends guy there. Wish u the best of luck Richard ______________________________________________________ Richard Lovelock | Capgemini | Southbank Senior Applications Analyst | Web Support, Westminster City Council Office: 0870 906 7482 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 95-97 Wandsworth Road, London, SW8 2HG Join the Collaborative Business Experience ______________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Taz Sent: 03 January 2005 12:34 To: [email protected] Subject: [CF-Dev] OT: Website logfile reporting software. >- see footer for list info -< Nothing like a bit of off-topic on a cloudy bank holiday Monday... For years I've been using Webtrends Log Analyser to run reports on usage statistics of my sites and a few of my clients' sites, which is all well and good ...until that is, I moved those sites to a new server. Webtrends bottles it, running away, throwing a grand hissy fit and telling me that I should upgrade with a clustertrends add-on, since I'm now quite obviously using a cluster environment. Webtrends is of course entirely wrong, but you try telling that to a wussy bit of software like that. It's gone home in a huff and won't come out to play. Of course the add-on is no longer available, due to a cunning ploy by the Webtrends marketing division who decided to scrap all old versions, stop supporting them and make lots of money by selling off an ultra-expensive piece of crap called Webtrends 7. I downloaded a demo of WT7 and tried to use it. I then stopped trying to use it to save myself from almost certain brain failure, and have now drawn the only possible conclusion. Must.... start... from... scratch! Must find new web analysis software that the bank manager will allow me to buy, whilst simultaneously being fairly simple to use and actually give some decent information about the logfiles. Webtrends 6.5 reports were pretty good... not perfect by a long shot, but you can't have it all. But something like Analog won't cut it. My clients will want to know why their nice logfile reports have suddenly turned all crappy and worryingly short. Oh yes, it's quite often down to quantity, not quality. You know how it is. So I need your suggestions. Anyone using any decent logfile analysis software that doesn't require a second mortgage and a PhD in astrophysics to get past the initial installation? Answers on a postcard please... or perhaps an email.
