Log Statistics and Analysis: Web log analysis can help provide a better picture for how your users access and use your web site. This can provide valuable information to you and your web masters, such as hits, page views, page errors, broken links, number of visitors, and size. Log statistics analysis is available from UM Web Stats, using Sawmill. Please see UM Web Stats for instructions.
To use Sawmill, you will need to do some setup first. We have created a script that should do the work for you. It is available on the shell server as /www/home/scripts/sawmill_logcopy. This script will copy the contents of the previous day's access logs to the file daily.log. The daily.log is located in the sawmill_daily directory under your htdocs directory. A .htaccess file will also be created to limit access to the daily.log file from only the Sawmill servers.
You'll need to create a new cron entry to run sawmill_logcopy every day. Here's an example:
0 3 * * * /www/home/scripts/sawmill_logcopy /www/tier/area/org/site &> /dev/null
Don't forget to replace tier with basic or premium, area/org with your CUFS area/org (for example: 555/5555) or the unit/dept, and site with your web site name (for example: www.department.umn.edu.)
