Name of organization:
Enter the name of the organization whose web site usage data will be analyzed by NetTracker. This name will appear on all NetTracker summaries.
URL of the site being analyzed:
Enter the URL (Universal Resource Locator) of the web site that will be analyzed by NetTracker.
Only process traffic to the above URL:
If your log files contain information for more than one site, select this option to only include traffic to the above hostname or IP address.
Number of minutes between visits:
Enter the maximum number of minutes (1-999) that can elapse between two consecutive page views by the same visitor and still be classified as a visit. The default value is 30 minutes. For web sites containing pages with large amounts of text, administrators may want to increase the default value. For web sites containing pages with small amounts of text, administrators may want to decrease the default value.
Length of Path
Select the number of consecutive pages (2, 3, 4 or 5) from the pull down menu that are required to constitute a path.
Resolve page titles:
Click on the Resolve page titles option box to instruct NetTracker to either resolve or not resolve page titles. By resolving pages titles, NetTracker presents the titles of pages instead of their file names. When this option is active a check will appear in the option box. The default value for this option is "off".
Resolve host names:
Click on the Resolve host names option box to instruct NetTracker to either resolve or not resolve host names. When this option is active a check will appear in the option box. The default value for this option is "off".
Most Internet web servers resolve host names. In other words, they look up the host names for the corresponding IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Sometimes web servers are configured to not perform this function. By selecting this option, NetTracker will resolve any host names that are not resolved by the web server. Since NetTracker must look up each IP address, this may take a long time. Thus, the default value for this option is off.
We strongly recommend that you configure your web server to resolve host names instead of having NetTracker resolve them.
Use alternate date format:
Click on Use alternate date format to switch date formats if your web server uses an alternate date format (dd/mm versus mm/dd). When this option is active a check will appear in the option box. The default value for this option is "off". This option is only used when analyzing Microsoft IIS log files.
To save the options that you have changed, click on the Save Options button. To clear the options and reset them to their previous settings, click on the Reset Options button.
