CPTC Web Log (11/30/98 - 12/08/98)

This was the week of the Central Park Track Club Annual Awards Dinner.  We were average almost 100 hits per day, which is preposterous.  At this rate, we are afraid that we may have to periodically shut down access to this site in order to encourage people to make time for a little bit of running.

For the first time ever, Ramon Bermo dropped out of the top 10 heaviest users.  What happened here?  We understand that he is now a dual user: at work and also at home.  So his usage may be more than ever before.  We are still puzzles by the unidentified user from Morgan Stanley, whose two IP numbers make him/her the number one user.  We know of three people from that company, but none of them seem likely.  Indeed, we are puzzled.  Of course, the only reason that we mention this is that we are obviously seeking informants ...

The User Profile by Regions graph identifies the general location of the visitors to your Web site. The General Statistics table includes statistics on the total activity for this server during the designated time frame.

This section identifies the most popular Web Site pages and how often they were accessed. The average time a user spends viewing a page is also indicated in the table.

This section identifies the first page viewed when a user visits this site. This is most likely your home page but, in some cases, it may also be specific URLs that users enter to access a particular page directly. The percentages refer to the total number of user sessions that started with a valid Document Type. If the session started on a document with a different type (such as a graphic or sound file), the file is not counted as an Entry Page, and the session is not counted in the total.

This section identifies the most common pages users were on when they left your site. The percentages refer to the total number of user sessions that started with a valid Document Type. If the session started on a document with a different type (such as a graphic or sound file), the file is not counted as an Entry Page, and the session is not counted in the total.

This section identifies the companies or organizations that accessed your Web site the most often.

This section identifies the IP address and relative activity level of the most active visitors to your web site.

This section outlines general server activity, comparing the level of activity on weekdays and weekends. The Average Number of Users and Hits on Weekdays are the averages for each individual week day. The Average Number of Users and Hits for Weekends groups Saturday and Sunday together. Values in the table do not include erred hits.

This section shows the activity for each day of the week for the report period (i.e. if there are two Mondays in the report period, the value presented is the sum of all hits for both Mondays.) The Total Weekdays line indicates the number of hits occurring Monday through Friday of the report period. The Total Weekends line indicates the number of hits occurring Saturday and Sunday of the report period. Values in the table do not include erred hits.

This section shows the most and the least active hour of the day for the report period. The second table breaks down activity for the given report period to show the average activity for each individual hour of the day (if there are several days in the report period, the value presented is the sum of all hits during that period of time for all days).

This table shows the total number of hits for the site, how many were successful, how many failed, and calculates the percentage of hits that failed. It may help you in determining the reliability of your site.

This section identifies the download file types and the total kilobytes downloaded for each file type. Cached requests and erred hits are excluded from the totals.

This section helps you understand the bandwidth requirements of your site by indicating the volume of activity as Kbytes Transferred.
