apachecookies

Usage:

apachecookies
VERY IMPORTANT:

This option is ONLY for use with the Apache server, versions 1.2 and newer, and only when the Apache server is configured to log a user-identifying "cookie" as an extension after other fields in the common log format, using the mod_usertrack module.

If you are using an older version of the Apache server, or you prefer to continue using the older separate CookiesLog approach, see the command line options section for more information about the -ac option which can be used to analyze such older Apache cookie logs.

If your web server logs were generated by Apache 1.2 or later, and you are using the mod_usertrack Apache module, and you have included this information in your log file according to our server configuration tips, then you can use the apachecookies option to make Wusage aware of this. This has the following benefits:

  • Trails and visits are determined based on the "cookie" rather than the site.
  • The users report is generated, if you specify the users option in your configuration file. The users report is similar to the sites report, except that it is based on cookies (unique identifying tags stored and returned by web browsers on each visit) rather than on IP addresses (which are not completely unique to individual people in many cases).
