WebStat Admin Guide

Invenio Web usage analyzer
==========================

Purpose:
--------

  Walk through the Apache combined log and analyse the usage of the
  site with respect to the searching habits, alert/basket pages, etc.

  Note: Please analyze only moderately-sized logs, e.g. for a day or a week.

Usage:
------

   $ webstat example_access_log

  or specify your preferred Common Lisp implementation:

   $ LISP=sbcl webstat example_access_log

Supported Common Lisp implementations:
-------------------------------------

   CMUCL, SBCL, CLISP.
   GCL doesn't work at the moment.
   Use CMUCL for fastest results.


Configuration:
--------------

Edit the config file:

   $ vim /opt/invenio/etc/webstat/webstat.cfg

The file is self-explanatory.


Example output:
