Web log analysis software
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Web log analysis software (also called a web log analyzer) is a simple kind of Web analytics software that parses a log file from a web server, and based on the values contained in the log file, derives indicators about who, when, and how a web server is visited. Usually reports are generated from the log files immediately, but the log files can alternatively be parsed to a database and reports generated on demand.
[edit] Indicators reported by most web log analyzers
- Number of visits and number of unique visitors
- Visits duration and last visits
- Authenticated users, and last authenticated visits
- Days of week and rush hours
- Domains/countries of host's visitors
- Hosts list
- Number total pageviews
- Most viewed, entry and exit pages
- Files type
- OS used
- Browsers used
- Robots
- HTTP referrer
- Search engines, key phrases and keywords used to find the analyzed web site
- HTTP errors
- Some of the log analyzers also report on who's on the site, conversion tracking and page navigation.
