looking for a web usesage / analytics package

Hi 

 

Does anyone know of a good web site analytics / usage reporting package? I
do not need anything real fancy, just basic info about # unique visitors,
page views, .

 

Ideally this would be implemented as a war file I can just drop on my server

 

Sorry If this has been asked a million times. I scoured the tomcat website,
but could not find anything. 

 

Maybe I am asking the question the wrong way?

 

Thanks

 

Andy

Try Awffull instead, it's a webalizer spinoff that's actually still
worked on.

Webalizer.   It's not java based but simple to use.   It works with tomcat
as well as apache and IIS should you ever have to go down one of those
roads.

Webalizer is very good and I believe it does exactly what need.   I dont
think it is available as war file though.

RE: looking for a web usesage / analytics package

Posted by Security Management <li...@secmgmt.com>.
Something like this:

<action name="personImage"
class="com.secmgmt.struts2.actions.getpic.StreamImageAction">
			<result name="success" type="stream">
				<param name="contentType">image/jpeg</param>
				<param name="inputName">inputStream</param>
				<param
name="contentDisposition">filename="image.jpg"</param>
				<param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
			</result>
</action>


And you do your HREF like this:

<img width="200" src="<s:url action='personImage'><s:param name='id'
value='person.id'/></s:url>" alt="No Image Found"/>

Just have your SteamImageAction increment some sort of counter, or record
the request, and have a getInputStream() method that returns an open input
stream with the image file on the other end...

Hi Hassan

I would never have thought to create a servlet that returns the image. This
is a great idea.

Thanks

If that's all, why not just write a Filter to grab each request and stuff
the relevant data in a DB? Or alternatively, why isn't the "image" just
a servlet that returns the graphic part and records the request?

Either one would give you records you could post-process in a variety
of ways...

Hi Hassan

Thanks for the suggestions

I already use Google Analytics. It is really good. 

My problem is that I need to create a tracking jpg. I need a way to count
the number of times this image is loaded. As far as I know google analytics
can only track at the page level and requires Java script.

I am in the process of doing a lot of SEO. Much of my activity is posting on
various blogs. Most of these sites will let me add an <img> but not run java
script or use frames . So basically I need an easy to way to track how many
times my img is loaded

If I could use frames, I could create a html file Google could track for me

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Andy

Have you looked at Google Analytics? Just a snippet of JS in each
page and you're done; could even be injected via a Filter for minimal
dev impact.
