Does anyone know if Webalizer can differentiate based on parameter values (it doesn't seem to be looking past the servlet name (i.e. We want to track /gateway?cmd=AboutUs separately from /gateway?cmd=Home) Currently, all hits are being reported against just /gateway.

Or, does anyone know of a FREE analysis tool that will accomplish my goal.  My client is perturbed and blaming the Java technology.

Analog will do this.  It will show the stats for the main servlet url, and then break it down by the parameter list.

I don't recall if this is the default operation, or if I configured to act in this manner.


I'd normally hide this from the end user by using pathInfo instead of parameters.  If you have a set of parameters that uniquely identifies the destination page/display, this works particularly well  In some cases, it seems pretty "natural" do it, like in the case you described here.   For instance, <http://www.example.com/gateway?cmd=Home> would become something like:  <http://www.example.com/gateway/Home.html>   Instead of getting the "cmd" parameter, your "gateway" servlet would just get the pathInfo from the request (/Home.html), then strip off the leading / and trailing .html, and the rest of it's operation is the same.  You can also mix and match pathInfo with parameters if necessary, separating real parameters from identifying information.
