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.
