Description
If present, the Show Example Visits (visits) option indicates
that Wusage should output information about
individual visits to the server. Wusage estimates the duration
of a visit by examining the amount of time between document
requests from the same site. In Wusage 7.0 and above,
the presence of a referring URL pointing to the same site
also implies that the same visit is still in progress.
Although no method is perfect, these estimates are
normally quite accurate and useful.
When the Show Example Visits (visits) option is turned on,
Wusage generates a list of "example" visits to the
server. These visits are of a variety of durations
and represent a cross-section of user activity on
your server. You can control the number of example
visits in the report using the
How Many Examples? (examplevisits) option.
Every path of at least a certain minimum length as determined
by the Top Trails Report: Minimum Steps (trailminimumsteps) option, followed on one or
more occasions, is considered to be a trail and
is considered for inclusion in the Chart Top Trails (trails) report and the
Top Trails-With-Certain-Documents Report: Patterns (trailswith) report.
The Show Example Visits (visits) option defaults to on .
