<title>New Report Measurements</title>
<para>With version 3.8.1 of <productname>AWFFull</productname>, several
new measured results have been added to the detailed report monthly
page.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Single Access</term>
<listitem>
<para>Single Access Pages - the only page seen within a given
visit</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>

<para>How useful a given entry page is to draw Visitors deeper into

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Popularity</term>
<listitem>
<para>The Ratio of Page Entries to Page Exits</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>These metrics can help towards improving insight in the usage of the
processed web site. And hence allow the site owner to make positive change
to make the site more useful to site visitors. All three metrics appear in
the <quote>Entry Pages</quote> Report. <quote>Popularity</quote> is also
on the <quote>Exit Pages</quote> Report.</para>
<bridgehead>Single Access</bridgehead>
<para>More completely: <quote>Single Access Pages</quote>. This is a
report on the number of times that a given page was the only page viewed
within a Visit. Or in English, Someone came to your website. They only
viewed one page. The number is the cumulative count of people who did this
for that particular page. Why is this useful? Identifying those entry
pages that don't draw visitors deeper into your site. Or seeing entry
pages that shouldn't be entry pages. It's also a reality check against the
next two values which are calculated from this number. The number
generated should be a subset of the <quote>Entry Page Views</quote> and/or
<quote>Exit Page Views</quote> metric. If it isn't? Let me know, we have a
bug. :-)</para>
<bridgehead>Stickiness</bridgehead>
<para>Is calculated as 1 - (Single Access / Entry Page Views) expressed as
a percentage. In essence Stickiness describes how useful a given entry
page is to draw Visitors deeper into your site. The stickier the page, the
more folk are caught by it. :-) The closer to 100% the better. Generally.
Certain pages within YOUR website may not make sense to have a high
stickiness or even > 5%. This measurement is a clue to understanding
how your site is used, it is not a rule. How is this useful? How and where
are people entering your web site. Does that make sense? Should it be here
or there? What can you change to fix this and hence improve their use of
your website.</para>
<bridgehead>Popularity</bridgehead>
<para>Popularity is the Ratio of Page Entries to Page Exits. o If it
equals 1.0? Then the number of visitors to your site who started with that
page, equals the number who left at that page. o If greater then 1.0, then
more people entered here then left. o If less then 0? More people left
from here then entered. I personally find this metric one of the more
useful "At a Glance: How are Pages Performing" metrics. One of the
difficulties with using this particular metric is that certain numbers
will NOT make sense for YOUR site. In that a natural exit page would
expect to have a very low Popularity. It's an exit page, not an entry
page. So if an exit page has a high popularity, then you have a real
problem. Likewise, a low Popularity for an entry page is unlikely to be a
Good Thing(tm).</para>
<para>"Where & Why?" All three of these metrics are covered very
nicely in Hack #58 from "Web Site Measurement Hacks" [1]. Which is where,
credit where credit due, the inspiration to add these metrics came
from.</para>

<refsect1 id="running_awffull">
<title>Running AWFFull</title>
<para><application><productname>AWFFull</productname></application> is
designed to be run from a Unix command line prompt or as a crond(8) job.
There is no need to run with super-user privleges, and indeed, is
preferable NOT to.</para>
<para>Once executed, the general flow of the program is:</para>
<procedure>
<step>
<para>A default configuration file is scanned for,
<filename>/usr/local/etc/awffull.conf</filename> and, if found, is
used.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>Any command line arguments given to the program are parsed. This
may include the specification of one or more configuration files,
which are processed at the time it is encountered.</para>
<para>It can be useful to have multiple config files. A master used
for multiple sites, and individualised config files. Do be aware that
last option set wins. So last config file, or if after a config file,
command line options. Useful if you desire to send the output to an
alternate directory.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>If a log file was specified, it is opened and made ready for
processing. If no log file was given, STDIN is used for input. If the
log filename '-' is specified, STDIN will be forced.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>If an output directory was specified,
<productname>AWFFull</productname> changes to that directory in
preparation for generating output. If no output directory was given,
the current directory is used.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>If no hostname was given, the program attempts to get the
hostname using a <productname>uname</productname>(2) system call. If
that fails, localhost is used.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>A history file is searched for in the current directory (output
directory) and read if found. This file keeps totals for previous
months, which is used in the main index.html HTML document. Note: The
file location can now be specified with the HistoryName configuration
option.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>If incremental processing was specified, a data file is searched
for and loaded if found, containing the 'internal state' data of the
program at the end of a previous run. Note: The file location can now
be specified with the IncrementalName configuration option.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>Main processing begins on the log file. If the log spans
multiple months, a separate HTML document is created for each month.
After main processing, the main index.html page is created, which has
totals by month and links to each months HTML document.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>A new history file is saved to disk, which includes totals
generated by <productname>AWFFull</productname> during the current
run.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>If incremental processing was specified, a data file is written
that contains the 'internal state' data at the end of this run.</para>
</step>
</procedure>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="incremental_processing">
<title>Incremental Processing</title>
<para>Version 1.2x of <productname><application>The
Webalizer</application></productname> added incremental run capability.
Simply put, this allows processing large log files by breaking them up
into smaller pieces, and processing these pieces instead. What this means
in real terms is that you can now rotate your log files as often as you
want, and still be able to produce monthly usage statistics without the
loss of any detail. Basically, <productname>AWFFull</productname> saves
and restores all internal data in a file named
<filename><application>awffull.current</application></filename>. This
allows the program to 'start where it left off' so to speak, and allows
the preservation of detail from one run to the next. The data file is
placed in the current output directory, and is a plain ASCII text file
that can be viewed with any standard text editor. It's location and name
may be changed using the <application>IncrementalName</application>
configuration keyword.</para>
<para>Some special precautions need to be taken when using the incremental
run capability of <productname>AWFFull</productname>. Configuration
options should not be changed between runs, as that could cause corruption
of the internal data stored. For example, changing the
<application>MangleAgents</application> level will cause different
representations of user agents to be stored, producing invalid results in
the user agents section of the report. If you need to change configuration
options, do it at the end of the month after normal processing of the
previous month and before processing the current month. You may also want
to delete the <application>awffull.current</application> file as
well.</para>
<para><application><productname>AWFFull</productname></application> also
attempts to prevent data duplication by keeping track of the timestamp of
the last record processed. This timestamp is then compared to current
records being processed, and any records that were logged previous to that
timestamp are ignored. This, in theory, should allow you to re-process
logs that have already been processed, or process logs that contain a mix
of processed/not yet processed records, and not produce duplication of
statistics.</para>
<para>The only time this may break is if you have duplicate timestamps in
two separate log files. Any records in the second log file that do have
the same timestamp as the last record in the previous log file processed,
will be discarded as if they had already been processed. There are lots of
ways to prevent this however, for example, stopping the web server before
rotating logs will prevent this situation, or using a tool such as
cronolog (<ulink url="http://cronolog.org/">http://cronolog.org/</ulink>).
This setup also necessitates that you always process logs in chronological
order, otherwise data loss will occur as a result of the timestamp

text files that may be created or edited using any standard editor.</para>
<para>Blank lines and lines that begin with a pound sign ('#') are
ignored.</para>
<para>Any other lines are considered to be configuration lines, and have
the form <quote>Keyword Value</quote>, where the <quote>Keyword</quote> is
one of the currently available configuration keywords (see

the value to assign to that particular option.</para>
<para>Any text found after the keyword up to the end of the line is
considered the keyword's value, so you should not include anything after
the actual value on the line that is not actually part of the value being
assigned. The file

well.</para>
