Whats Your Webserver Stats Program? - GoFuckYourself.com

WiredGuy · 03-06-2003, 06:35 PM

With the gorwing choices available for your web usage stats, I am curious to see what people are using to analyze their traffic sources (ie: Webalizer, WebTrends, Wusage, etc...)?

Also, what feature do you like/hate about the stats package your currently using?

I use webalize. It's in written in C so It's fast.

The things I hate..hmm..I can't see referals by domain nor the system identify SE spiders.

Do you have reverse DNS on, and are your logs even writing the referrals? That should be taken care of.

The search spiders I think Webalizer can handle but you might have to custom define them in the config file.

The apache logs are combined. so it write the referrals.
I don't have reverse DNS on...I don't need it.

I always love this wisdom.

In order for C to be fast it should be well coded and designed.
Stuff is NOT just fast because it´s in C

Oh..YEs..Urchin rocks!
Urchin is very well categorized and has a kick-ass interface.

Urchin is the best for me. But I currently use Webalizer because its free

Do you write the logs to the same HDD from which you read your
webstuff? If so it kills your server performance a LOT!!
Write them to a seperate disk or AT LEAST a different partition.

DynaSpain: I start from the beggining that all scripts are well written when they have such popularity...

C is fast...not only for the language itself but also because it is compiled.

I store the logs in a separate hard drive.

If this is true or not depends on how much free memory you have in the machine.

With lots of free memory all pages that are read will be cached. Then the writes won't compete against the reads.

I have 1gb of memory on my server, but I am about to buy a new extra server.
