Make SurfStats do Revers DNS lookups

There are two ways to make SurfStats do a Reverse DNS lookup:

You can set DNS lookup ON in the Edit profile - General tab - Automatic lookup of DNS Names.

When generating reports to screen (Edit profile - Output to), a Resolve DNS item will be available on the toolbar after report generation.

Please note that you have to be connected to the Internet when resolving domain names. Surfstats has a global DNS database that is empty after installation. Every time when you do a DNS lookup, the database is populated with the domain names that are found. When a DNS lookup is done, the database is first queried before doing a DNS lookup on the internet.

Set up SurfStats to use FTP

Select the site profile you wish to set up for FTP. Click on the Edit profile menu item, then the Site tab and set it to AutoFTP. Select the FTP tab and set the Site Address, login name, password and default folder. Contact your host for this information.

Make sure you are connected to the Internet. Click on the Test FTP with FTPClient button. This should bring up the FTP client, click Connect.

Browse to the directory on the host server where your log files are located. Note the Folder name (displayed in the Folder Field) and the log file name(s). Close the FTP Client.

On the Input tab specify the log file names. For instance /testlogs/*.log.

Reduce errors on website

Use the Daily Error Report to see the trends in the amount of errors, the Requests Causing Errors Report and the new Error Referrers Report to see where errors originated from. Usually you will get a larger number of errors just after publishing your web site. You can then select the date in the control panel to see which errors occurred on a specific day or time period.

File not found errors - Check that the link to the file is correct. We recommend that you do not use capital letters in links and file names. Also make sure that you have a robots.txt file and favicon.ico file in every directory that was submitted to search engines.

Unauthorized Access Errors - Do not place a link to password protected directories on pages that search engines has access to. This includes the page you submitted to search engines and all the links from this submitted page. Also inform your clients to switch off or configure proxy servers correctly when accessing password protected directories.

Frequently Asked Questions - Surfstats Log Analyzer

  1. Where can I get the latest information if I have problems installing or running SurfStats Log Analyzer V7?
    The Troubleshooting Guide for SurfStats Log Analyzer on the SurfStats website contains the most up-to-date information.

  2. Can I generate graphs in gif format?
    No, you can generate graphs on reports in png format only. This format is supported in all the popular browsers. If you write a program that generates gif files, you have to pay royalties to Unisys who owns the gif compression patent.

  3. Does SurfStats save a copy of the reports if I generate to screen?
    Yes. When the output option is set to screen and the report has been displayed, a copy of the report has been generated and can be found in the folder \Program Files\Surfstats\Sites\SiteName\Html where SiteName is the name of the site profile.

  4. How can I find out more about my visitors?
    You have to do a DNS (Domain Name Server) lookup of a visitor's IP Address, also referred to as Resolving IP Addresses. You need to be connected to the internet to do this. The DNS (Domain Name Server) lookup queries database at DNS servers on the internet.

    The country of origin will then be displayed in reports. Note that all IP addresses cannot be resolved due to various reasons like some ISP's allocate dynamic IP addresses to their clients, the host is not available, etc.

    If you have received e-mail from a visitor, you can also look at the suffix of his e-mail address and then look-up the country from the ISO country code list. This list is available in the online help in SurfStats (Help-Contents-Appendix-List of country and ISO internet codes).

    You can also find out more about your visitors by clicking on the hyper-linked IP Address in a report and thereby visiting your visitor.

    V7.0 and later of SurfStats Log Analyzer features an optionally available pre-looked up database which eliminate the need for Reverse DNS lookups.



  5. I want to analyze log files for third parties. May I customize the reports...?
    Yes, you may customize reports. You can add your own logo (Edit Profile - Appearance - Logo) on reports. You are not restricted to the number of users that you want to create reports for per user license (except for Standard Edition) but you must have a user license for every computer that you want to install the program on.
