Statistics Server is a valuable Web statistics solution for corporate Web sites, Intranet Web sites and ISP installations alike.
Because of its design, it is able to deliver Live statistics to very high volume Web sites and ISP installations. Regular log analyzer software is often unable to hold up under the load or is unable to provide the amount of history that is required to determine trends in site usage and traffic.
Since the first release in 1996, MediaHouse has continued to perfect real-time log analysis and Live Stats reporting to the level now seen in Statistics Server 5.0:
- You tell Statistics Server where your Web Server activity log files are located.
- It reads the log files every couple of minutes (configurable).
- The log data is sorted and processed on a per Web site basis.
- Results are stored in very compact databases.
For high volume Internet Web sites and ISP installations log file size quickly becomes a critical concern. The Statistics Server solution eliminates control characters used in formatting and verbose text inherent in log files. As a result, over time Statistics Server databases are hundreds to thousands of times smaller than the original log files. The compacted size of the databases makes it possible to report statistics in an instant even on very large installations.
Statistics Server's powerful log parsing engine reads NCSA standard and extended logs, W3C extended logs and IIS standard logs. This provides support for Microsoft Internet Information Server, Apache, O'Reilly Website Pro, Netscape, Domino and many popular Unix Web Servers.
Statistics Server is a stand-alone Web Server that installs as a service on Windows NT and like other Web servers it uses the HTTP protocol to communicate. This way you can use your Web Browser to view reports and configure the software.
