Getting statistics from a notes web application

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a web application and the client wants to have some statistics from that application. I need to determine if it would be easier to have the statistics done by pure web programming or use Lotus notes to get the information. Here is the stats that the client would like to have… I personally think that it would be lots of work in notes but I do not want to give the client a bad answer, so can this be done in notes…

Here is the information the client would like to compile.

  • new visitors

  • number of repeat visitors

  • number of people (totals) who visit daily, weekly and monthly

  • duration per visit

  • pages per visit

  • what times are busiest

  • most visited pages

thanks

Paul,

Why not put Google Analytics to work? Man, its getting pretty good. GA uses some Javascript on your web page to gather statistics, you then access your stats on their web page. Totally free. Very easy.

Otherwise, you can turn on web Logs and use an off the shelf web log analyzer such as Webtrends (if you have money to burn), Analog, AWStats, or any of several other options. These generate easy to understand reports with graphs and everything, based off of the logs your server creates for each web request.
