We are using Awstats for 30 domains. So we have 30 Awstats config file and updating automatically.To process one day log it took nearly 8 to 10 hrs because our log file is very large.Unfortunately each and month we are missing one day or two day stats in awstats report.We don't have jun 3 stats but Awstats already build jun 30 2009 , but 3-jun-2009 was messing in the awstats report. I want to update the date 3-jun only. I know that the biggest limitation of awstats is it does not does.removing the current month Awstats data base and updating from june 1 to 30 again for 30 domain will take too much time. Here i am trying to get the missing day in different way,it processing the day but does not give expected result(gives low visitors). what i am doing is just I am modifying the "Last Line" and "Last Time" in awstats data base file to 2-jun-2009 "Last Line" and "Last Time" . What exactly i am doing is first I restore jun 30th "Last Line" and "Last Time" and manually getting "Last Line" and "Last Time" value in jun 2 log file and updating the values in "Last Line" and "Last Time" then updating 2-jun 2009 .It is updating but it does not give expected values.Any suggestion will appreciate.
Theoretically, you could have some small errors in the number of visits and in the calculation of visit durations, but in percentage terms, this is definitely neglectable.
What do you mean when you say that you did not get the expected values ? When updating June 3, you finally got a message stating "Found XYZ new qualified records". Is this XYZ value not the expected one ? Or are these XYZ hits not found where you expected them in the report ? Or are you talking about something else when you speak of "unexpected values" ? Please clarify.
Yes.I have some errors in the number of visits. Here I am testing the way is correct or not. So i already have the stat of june-4,5,6. see the stat
visits pages hits BW 04 Jun 2009 6062 487307 632697 4.00 GB 05 Jun 2009 5753 476390 632430 3.98 GB 06 Jun 2009 7208 609755 793510 5.00 GB
Then created separate configuration file and run Awstat for only 4 and 6
visits pages hits BW
04 Jun 2009 6053 486656 631438 3.99 GB 05 Jun 2009 120 645 1027 5.50 MB 06 Jun 2009 7202 609217 792802 4.99 G
Then i am updating 5-jun, like you explained previous mail .
visits pages hits BW 04 Jun 2009 6059 487307 632697 4.00 GB 05 Jun 2009 4950 476466 632611 3.98 GB 06 Jun 2009 7202 609217 792802 4.99 GB
see the difference in visits on 5-june .it gives 800 visits low.Is it resonable? I am expecting I will come around 5500, then I am OK. Is it possible to get the more exact visit?
Did you compare the numbers of unique visitors as reported in your first stats about June 4-5-6 and as reported in the other stats when you added June 5 afterwards ? You should get exactly the same numbers there.
Within AWStats, counting visits is more complicated than counting unique visitors . When defining visits , the AWStats Glossary explains :
Think "session" here, say a unique IP accesses a page, and then requests three others without an hour between any of the requests, all of the "pages" are included in the visit, therefore you should expect multiple pages per visit and multiple visits per unique visitor (assuming that some of the unique IPs are logged with more than an hour between requests)
I suspect that, when counting visits after you patched the database files, AWStats could make mistakes because some visits ("sessions") in the future could be confused with a "session" on June 5, thus an underestimate of the real number of visits . This underestimate should be more important in websites where the same visitors visit the site day after day, while it would be neglectible in many websites where most visitors come once and rarely come back.
