The AIS Web Server keeps log files which record access to all web site pages on the server. A summary of the information can be viewed. This shows the following information for your site:

• General Summary
  This section shows some general information:
  • Successful requests: total count of successful accesses to files in your web site.
  • Average successful requests per day
  • Successful requests for pages: count of successful accesses to pages, where a page is an HTM file plus any embedded images.
  • Average successful requests for pages per day
  • Failed requests: count of requests for files in your website which failed, probably because the file did not exist.
  • Distinct files requested: count of the number of files actually requested. This will be less than the number of files in your site if some were never accessed.
  • Distinct hosts served: a host may be a browser running on a particular machine, but could also be a sarch engine.
  • Data transferred: number of bytes of data transferred from your site to the outside world.
  • Average data ransferred per day
• Monthly Report
  This shows the number of requests, and requests for pages, for each of the last few months.
• Dialy Summary
  This shows the number of requests, and requests for pages, on a weekday basis.
• Domain Report
  This section indicates where, by domain, your website is being accessed from. The domain is the last part of an internet host name, hence the domain for host min.a-i-s.co.uk is .uk.
• Host Report
  This shows access grouped by host. Note that this will probably be dominated by web caches, since most web browsers are set up to access the Web via the web cache at their ISP.
• Request Report
  This section shows specific information (number of requests, fraction of all site traffic, and last access date) for specific files in your site. Note that an entry like /min/htdocs/ indicates the default file in that directory (index.htm or whatever).
• Referrer Report
  Where pages are accessed as the result of a used following a link on some other page (which may be on your web site, or on some other website), this section shows the URL of the page which contained the link, and the number of times your site was accessed via that page.
• Browser Summary
  This section shows information about which programs were used to access your site. Many of these will be browsers; note that en entry like Netscape (compatible) does not necessarily mean an actual Netscape browser (see the next section for more detail). Others my be web search engines (eg., AText Spider).
• Browser Report
  This section shows more detail about whuch programs accessed your site. Specifically, it records the exact identification text that the program supplied to the web server.
