Overview
WDStatistics is a tool used to perform statistical calculations regarding the traffic of your dynamic WEBDEV sites (standard and AWP sites) and Webservices deployed on a WEBDEV Application Server.
These statistics are calculated from the log files (".LOG" extension) generated by the WEBDEV Application Server. These files can be saved for all the sites or for a specific site.
Some examples of statistics automatically calculated by WDStatistics:
  • List of connections: details of all the connections performed on the Web server (IP address, date and time, browser used, operating system, etc.).
  • Connections per site: number of connections per WEBDEV site and duration.
  • List of pages visited by a Web user.
  • Number of connections by type of browser (Google Chrome, etc.).
  • Number of connections per time slot.
  • Number of connections per operating system.
  • List of sites where the users were before getting to your site.
  • List of keywords used on the search engines allowing the Web users to reach your site.
  • Statistics regarding the geographical origin of the visitors (by country).
These statistics are displayed in:
  • Summary table. You can save these tables in Word, Excel or XML format (right-click the table).
  • Chart. These charts can be customized (right-click the chart). You can change the type of chart, add legends, change the font, etc.
  • Printable report. You can choose the type of report to be printed and the desired period. These reports can be printed, saved as PDF files, sent by email, etc.
To start WDStatistics, run "WDStatistics.EXE" directly.
WDStatistics cannot be redistributed. WDStatistics cannot be installed on the Web server where your site is deployed.
To use WDstatistics, WEBDEV must be installed on the current computer.
Remark: WDStatistics is also available as an online tool, from the remote administrator. For more details, see Showing the statistics in the remote administrator.
Using WDStatistics
To find out the statistics regarding the traffic of your dynamic sites, you must:
  1. Configure the WEBDEV administratorto generate the log file(s) (".LOG").
  2. Import the log file(s) into WDStatistics.
  3. Use WDStatistics.

Log file

The traffic statistics of your dynamic sites are calculated using data from the log files (".LOG"). These files are generated by the WEBDEV engine.
You can create this type of file:
  • For each one of the dynamic WEBDEV sites installed on the Web server. In this case, a single log file will be created every day in a directory specific to each site. This file will contain the history of the operations performed in the relevant dynamic WEBDEV site.
  • For all the dynamic WEBDEV sites installed on the Web server. In this case, a single log file will be created every day in a common directory. This file will contain the history of the operations performed in all the dynamic WEBDEV sites installed on the Web server.
These log files are saved regularly as soon as the site(s) associated with the file are used.
The format for the name of these log files is as follows: "WDSession_<BackupYear><BackupMonth><BackupDay>"

Data files

The data files of WDStatistics are located in the "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\PC SOFT\WDStatistics\" directory. These files can be transferred from one computer to another.
