DESCRIPTION¶
The WebDruid is a web site log file analysis program which produces usage
statistics in HTML format for viewing with a browser. The results are
presented in both columnar and graphical format, which facilitates
interpretation. Yearly, monthly, daily and hourly usage statistics are
presented, along with the ability to display usage by site, URL, referrer,
user agent (browser), username, search strings, entry/exit pages, and country
(some information may not be available if not present in the log file being
processed).
The WebDruid supports
CLF (common log format) log files, as well
as
Combined log formats as defined by NCSA and others, and variations
of these which it attempts to handle intelligently. In addition,
the
WebDruid also supports
W3C formatted log files, allowing it to
parse IIS log files. Logs may also be compressed, via
gzip. If a
compressed log file is detected, it will be automatically uncompressed while
it is read. Compressed logs must have the standard
gzip extension of
.gz.
The WebDruid, when used with the
graphviz tools, can produce path
graphs and users flow graphs. Path graph allows you to see the preferred path
your users take when browsing on your web site. Users flow will draw lines
between the urls, each line being balanced by the number of hits. For more
information see 'Using path & users flox graphs' in the README file.
webdruid-resolve is normally just a symbolic link to
webdruid.
When run as
webdruid-resolve, only DNS file creation/updates are
performed, and the program will exit once complete. All normal options and
configuration directives are available, however many will not be used.
The WebDruid main documentation is located in the README file. It
contains instructions on operating with the software, as well as a reference
for all the /etc/webdruid/webdruid.conf config file directives, and command
line options.
