Web Log Analyzers
No doubt, you are at least curious about the traffic that your web site attracts. More likely, your
business depends on obtaining detailed information about your web site traffic, and adapting to that
information. Our Virtual Private Server system allows you to easily obtain all the statistical
information you need to know about usage of your web site.
The actual data logged in your Virtual Private Server Web
Server Log Files is cryptic, to say the least. The easiest way to understand them is to use a Log
Analysis program.
- Urchin
& Urchin 5 (VPS2 only)
The Urchin Web log Analyzer is an efficient, fast, and easy to use Web log analysis and reporting
tool. Urchin installs directly on your Virtual Server and creates HTML-based graphical reports of
your Web server traffic. It offers several special features such as multi-language reporting,
Virtual Subhosting support, and even e-commerce log reporting.
NOTE: Urchin is available on the VPS platform only. Due
to licensing restrictions, Urchin should not be installed on the MPS platform.
- Other Unix Software
There are a number of web server log file analyzing programs available that can be installed
directly on a Virtual Private Server. Most of these programs will analyze your web server log
files in-place and then create HTML, text, or even e-mail reports of your web server traffic.
Our Web Development Team has made several of these available on all Virtual Private Server
host machines. They are pre-configured for easy installation, and best of all, hey are
completely free of charge.
Scheduling Analysis Programs to Run Regularly
You will probably want your web server statistical reports to be created regularly. For example, you
may want a regular weekly report of activity at your site, or perhaps an e-mail report delivered daily.
The Unix Cron utility can be used to automatically run
such scheduled processes.
