Web statistics on Web Services

[Jean-Francois Doyon]

Scott,

I recommend using Analog: http://www.analog.cx

It's a log file analyser ... VERY configurable.

You can make it analyse your Apache or IIS logs, or the logs of your proxy
server (Squid?).

You can then use Regular Expressions to match URL writings such as
/\/cgi-bin\/mapserv\?.*request=wfs.*/ to detect the various services used,
the types of queries executed, and so on. (Note that I made the expression
up on the spot, it may not work!).

It's what we use at the Atlas, and i highly recommend it to everyone.

J.F.

Sorry for the double-post.

I'm looking for information or techniques on keeping track of hits on Web
Services especially through proxy sites.  Does anyone have any good ideas on
keeping accurate records of how many times the Web Services (WMS, WFS and
other services) are used?

Thanks in advance,
