Description
This option is only useful if your server logs
contain user agent (web browser) identifying information, or if you have
a separate user agent log. See the server notes
section for information on configuring popular web servers to
log this information in the best possible way. If you have a separate
user agent log, use the -u
command line option and the -l filename
command line option when starting wusage. This produces a special
summary report in a subdirectory called agents beneath the report
directory. It is far better to configure your server to log the information in
the main log file so it can be included in regular reports. If your log does
not contain user agent data, this report will not
contain useful information!
If present, the Chart Top Operating Systems (os) option indicates
that wusage should output information about the
operating systems (MacOS(tm), Linux, Windows NT(tm), Windows 95(tm),
et cetera) that were used by visitors to the server.
Note that browsers do not always provide this
information in every case. If the Chart Top Operating Systems (os) option
is set to off, an operating systems report will
not be generated. If it is set to nopie,
the report is generated, but a pie chart is not drawn.
This option is useful to determine what operating systems
were used to access the site. You may receive unexpected
results if your logs do not contain user agent information.
