| 666 | * This number is not really the number of browsers detected. All |
| 667 | browsers (known and unknown) can be detected by products that support |
| 668 | user agent listing (AWStats,Analog,Webalizer,Sawmill). The 'browser |
| 669 | detection feature' and number is the number of known browsers for which |
| 670 | different versions/ids of same browser are grouped by default in one |
| 671 | browser name.<br> |
| 672 | <br> |
| 673 | ** AWStats can detect robots visits: All robots among the most common |
| 674 | are detected, list is in <a href="http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/active/all.txt">robotslist.txt</a> |
| 675 | |
| 676 | (250Kb). Products that are not able to do this give you false |
| 677 | information, above all if your site has few visitors. For example, if |
| 678 | you're site was submitted to all famous search engines, robots can make |
| 679 | 500 visits a month, to find updates or to see if your site is still |
| 680 | online. So, if you have only 2000 visits a month, products with no |
| 681 | robot detection capabilities will report 2500 visits (A 25% error !). |
| 682 | AWStats will report 500 visits from robots and 2000 visits from human |
| 683 | visitors.Sawmill Analytics uses a "currently active" list of robots |
| 684 | based on the <a href="http://www.robotstxt.org/db.html" target="_blank">robotstxt.org</a> database.<br> |
| 685 | <br> |
| 686 | *** AWStats has url syntax rules for the most popular search engines |
| 687 | (that's the 'number detected'). Those rules are updated with AWStats |
| 688 | updates. But AWStats has also an algorithm to detect keywords of |
| 689 | unknown search engines with unknown url syntax rules. Sawmill uses |
| 690 | unique syntax to detect 67 search engines, and you can add any number |
| 691 | of custom SE's. <br> |
| 692 | <br> |
| 693 | **** Most log analyzers have poor (or not at all) robots, search |
| 694 | engines, os or browsers detection capabilities and less features (no or |
| 695 | poor visits count, no filter rules, etc...).<br> |
| 696 | It is not possible to add all AWStats features to other log analyzers, |
| 697 | so don't forget that benchmarks results are for 'different features'. |
| 698 | For this benchmark, I did just complete Webalizer and Analog robots or |
| 699 | search engines databases with part of AWStats database. So Webalizer |
| 700 | config file was completed with this <a href="http://awstats.sourceforge.net/files/webalizeradd.txt">file</a>, |
| 701 | Analog config file was completed with this <a href="http://awstats.sourceforge.net/files/analogadd.txt">file</a>. |
| 702 | Note that without this very light add (using default conf file), |
| 703 | Webalizer speed is 3 times faster, Analog is 15% faster).<br> |
| 704 | |
| 705 | Benchmark was made on a combined (XLF/CLF) log record on an Athlon 1GHz.<br> |
| 706 | You must keep in mind that all this times are without reverse DNS |
| 707 | lookup. DNS lookup speed depends on your system, network and Internet |
| 708 | but not on the log analyzer you use. For this reason, DNS lookup is |
| 709 | disabled in all log analyzer benchmarks. Don't forget that DNS lookup |
| 710 | is 95% (even with a lookup cache) of the time used by a log analyzer, |
| 711 | so if your host is not already resolved in log file and DNS lookup is |
| 712 | enable, the total time of the process will be nearly the same whatever |
| 713 | is the speed of the log analyzer.<br> |

| 715 | ***** Some visitors |
| 716 | use a lot of proxy servers to surf (ie: AOL users), this means it's |
| 717 | possible that several hosts (with several IP addresses) are used to |
| 718 | reach your site for only one visitor (ie: one proxy server download the |
| 719 | page and 2 other servers download all images). Because of this, if |
| 720 | stats of unique visitors are made on "Hits", 3 users are reported but |
| 721 | it's wrong. So AWStats, considers only HTML pages to count unique |
| 722 | visitors. This decrease the error (not totally, because |
| 723 | it's always possible that a proxy server download one HTML frame and |
| 724 | another one download another frame).</font><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,verdana; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 8pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> |
| 725 | Sawmill Analytics allows you to choose what you define as a visitor - |
| 726 | by default the client IP is used, but you can use a cookie (persistant |
| 727 | or session) or any custom string, or combination of string from teh log |
| 728 | data. <br> |

| 731 | <br> |
| 732 | (b) With such log format, there is no user agent information in log |
| 733 | file, so some reports are broken. For example, it's not possible to |
| 734 | make reports on browser or os for (information is not stored in log |
| 735 | file). To solve this, use another log format (like the combined |
| 736 | format). </font> |
