Abstract

A log file from a server is analyzed and entries in the log file are deleted, combined, or condensed to create a list of page views that more accurately reflects traffic to a server. The list of page views may be added to a database for searching, sorting, and analyzing the page views.

Claims (8)

1. A method, comprising automatically combining multiple entries within a log file, said entries describing traffic in a computer network, into a single page view entry in a condensed log file by (i) designating all non-page view entries in the log file that are recorded within a user-designated time of a page view entry in the log file as being related to the page view entry in the log file, and (ii) combining said non-page view entries in the log file with the page view entry in the log file to form the single page view entry in the condensed log file.

2. A method, comprising automatically combining multiple entries within a log file, said entries describing traffic in a computer network, into one or more page view entries in a condensed log file by (i) classifying the entries within the log file as page view entries or non-page view entries according to a status code associated with each respective entry in the log file, and (ii) combining those of the entries in the log file classified as non-page view entries with their respective page view entries in the log file to form the one or more page view entries in the condensed log file.

3. A method, comprising automatically combining multiple entries within a log file, said entries describing traffic in a computer network, into one or more page view entries in a condensed log file by (i) classifying the entries within the log file as page view entries or non-page view entries according to one or more parameters associated with each respective entry in the log file, and (ii) combining those of the entries in the log file classified as non-page view entries with their respective page view entries in the log file to form the one or more page view entries in the condensed log file.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more parameters include a status code associated with each respective entry in the log file.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more parameters include a content type associated with each respective entry in the log file.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more parameters further include a status code associated with each respective entry in the log file.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the entries within the log file are classified as page views if the content type associated with each respective entry in the log file is text/html.

8. The method of claim 3 , wherein criteria for classifying an entry as a page view is modifiable by a user.
