Hi , I am looking for some help on how to collect hits for few particular directory if i have logs for a big site which has lot of directories and pages. If I run awstats on site logs it give me hits for for over all site and not per directory based nor per page based. If any body have similar problem then please mention your insight.
So that mean I have to process my logs again with extra section. I alreay did my processing running almost 12 hours for 2 years of data on monhtly basis. Is it possible to get the per directory and per page info from my already processed logs ?
With already processed logs, you can go to "Navigation: Viewed – Full list" report (Pages-URL – Full list) and apply a filter. This is a way to get a list of pages within a directory and, for each page in the directory, you get "viewed pages", "average size", "entry" and "exit".
But I dont think this thing gives me a valid report because it gives statistics about “viewed pages”, “average size”, “entry” and “exit” for particulardirectory which are not the hits or visits and unique vistors.
What you think about using 'OnlyFiles' directive at config before running updates.
Well, you got a valid report, but it does not include what you are looking for.
You are right about "OnlyFiles": if you want to see "hits", "visits" and "unique visitors" per directory as if a directory would be a different site, you need to use "OnlyFiles" and you need to run the update as many times as you have directories that you want to monitor (with a different value of "OnlyFiles" for each directory).
Thanks for the clarification. Do u have some document which explain awstats report ?? ie .. difference between 'viewed' and 'hits' or 'vists' and what is there significance. I know "viewed" is different from hits/visits but wanted to be sure . I checked on awstats site and it does talk about how to generate report but no explaination of what you got.
