Abstract
This document describes how you can obtain "hit" counts for pages that are stored on the NERSP system. It assumes you have familiarity with UNIX and already know how to create and store Web pages on the NERSP system.
<editor@cns.ufl.edu>Table of Contents
CNS hosts Web pages for many departments and offices at UF, as well as for several non-UF user-groups. As a service to these users, we provide "pre-digested" Web hit-count stats, as well as other useful and interesting information about our Web servers.
You can view a variety of statistics, for example: how many hits a Web page receives, who is accessing the pages and from what site.
If you want to learn how to set up Web pages on the NERSP, please see D0122, Putting Your World Wide Web Pages on CNS.
The NERSP complex is host to many "virtual Web servers," including "nersp.cns.ufl.edu", "www.ufl.edu", "plaza.ufl.edu", and many more. Daily logs are maintaned for each of these virtual web servers. Nightly, the CNS Open Systems Group runs the analog utility, which writes out analyses of the activity of each virtual Web server.
Daily and Monthly summary statistics are available for each of the virtual Web servers hosted on the NERSP complex.
Daily files are named daily-; for example, the daily file for January 23, 2003 is namedyyyy-mm-dd.html
daily-2003-01-23.html
Monthly files are named monthly-; for example, the monthly file for June 2003 is namedyyyy-mm.html
monthly-2003-06.html
Within each file you will find both numerical-table statistics, and graphical charts for a wide range of information regarding the Web pages hosted on that server.
The "Go To:..." header section at the top of each page provides a quick-link index to the various tables and charts. The link to the section on number-of-hits for individual pages is the last one in the "Go To..." header: "Request Report." The Request Report section lists all files which have received at least 20 requests during that reporting period (day, or month, according to the type of report).
In addition to simple hit-counts, the Web Server Statistics pages list a variety of other potentially useful data, including:
Requesting Hosts: Top 50
Redirected Requests: Top 20
Referring Sites: Top 30
Referring URLs: Top 100
Search Query Report: Top 30
Browser Summary: Top 20 Browsers used to access this site
Operating System Report: Operating Systems used by browsers accessing this site
And others.
To access a report, decide which report you would like to see; which particular day or month. Then, using the templates given above in the section headed "Summary Data Available," use your Web browser to view:
http://webstats.ufl.edu/virtualhost/timeperiod.html
In
place of , enter the base URL for the virtual host on which your pages reside. And in place ofvirtualhost , enter thetimeperiod
daily-oryyyy-mm-dd monthly-for the time-period desired. For example, for the
June 14 statistics for Web page yyyy-mm http://nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/~spock/index.html, you would enter
http://webstats.ufl.edu/nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/daily-2003-06-14.html
To view statistics for the entire month (June 2003) for that page, you would go to
http://webstats.ufl.edu/nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/monthly-2003-06.html
Daily reports should be available no later than 48 hours after the end of the day in question.
Monthly reports should be available no later than 15 days after the end of the month.
If the normal reporting period has passed, and the report you are looking for is still not available, please e-mail open-systems-l@lists.ufl.edu.
