Re: Calculate time spent on website (per ip address)

[Ron Wheeler <rwheeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could process the logs and set some rules about what period between transactions should count as a single visit.
ie if ip  123.123.1.23 made requests at
9:01
9:03
9:15
9:50
9:51 and
9:54,
is this one visit of 53 minutes (total time 53 minutes) or
3 visits of 2 minutes, 0 minutes and 4 minutes (total time 6 minutes) or
2 visits of 14 minutes and  4 minutes (total time 18 minutes)

Each of these calculations is defensible and easy to do with a rather trivial program that reads the log.

Dear all,

I was wondering if there is a built in feature in Squid to calculate the time spent on a website, per ip address (e.g. 32 minutes between 12pm and 1pm, 5 minutes between 1pm and 2pm)? And, if not, how would you do it?

I immediately thought about using the log files for this BUT, because we only log individual connections, how would you guys conclude the amount of time spent per website? Would you, for instance, for each 5 minutes, add 5 minute chunks IF there was data flowing between the 5 minutes?

That would work but...Isn't there a more elegant way of doing this?

Thanks,

Luis
