Analog Web Usage Reporting Expanded

For those interested in web log usage reports, browser and referrer data are now being collected. Web log processing has been adjusted to produce several new associated analog reports.

The additional reports are available now with daily processing and will be available with cumulative and computer-readable processing on January 5, 2007.

If you use the computer-readable output, you may need to make adjustments for new codes before using the January data. Please refer to the documentation for Web Usage Reports

The reports section now includes these specific new reports.

  • The Failed Referrer Report is essentially a broken link report.
  • The Referrer Report lists which pages linked to your files.
  • The Referring Site Report lists the servers those referrers were on.
  • The Redirection Report lists the filenames which resulted in redirections: mainly directories without the final slash, and "click-thru"'s.
  • The Redirected Referrer Report lists the referrers which led to redirections.
  • The Browser Report lists the detailed versions of browsers used, and the Browser Summary collects them by vendor.
  • Computer-readable output section – added code information forthe new reports
