RE: fusebox stats

[Mark Warrick]

Use the Fuseactions as the "pages".  (I track traffic on Fusioneers.com that way.)

If you'd like sample code, I'd be happy to email it to you.

RE: fusebox stats

[Ed Toon]

Forget about parsing out those horrible log files... insert a row into a
table on every page, and use that for stats.

That is, forget about if you can. ;)

I'm no big FuseBox person, so there might be a more... standard way to do
it, but this certainly works.

OnRequestEnd.cfm:

insert into hits (
page_name, script_name, fuseaction,
hit_date, from_ip, referer,
whatever, other, info, you, might, need
) values (
'#Page_Name_Variable?#', '#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#', 
'#Attributes.fuseaction#',
#Now()#, #CGI.REMOTE_HOST#', '#CGI.HTTP_REFERER#',
#however#, #you#, #want#, #to#, #track#, #people#
)

The easiest thing to do is have a db with a table called logs, with the page
name as the ID and increment this each time this page is called before the
cflocation/cfinclude its that simple:-)

I think fusebox is cool, but I've gotten myself in some hot water here... I
created a nice application for a customer using fusebox.  Now, they would
like to get stat reports on it... well... because you're always going to the
same page and including the others all of the stats come back as hits
against the main index.cfm page, not the actual page that was hit.

How on earth do I track these pages individually?  How can I tell how many
people looked at the contact page, or the support page or whatever??

Thanks for any ideas...

Re: fusebox stats

[Graham Lewis]

I had a similar problemwith an application I built last year.  It wasn't 
entirely fusebox but it did always call the same index.cfm.  What I 
did was log the variables in a table ie I recorded the state whenever 
index.cfm was called.  So if we go 
index.cfm?action=red&frames=yes and SESSION.people is "fred"
I just log all those variables.

Bit of a quick fix but it works

Re: fusebox stats

[Chris Hayes]

Never touched Fusebox yet but I believe the
idea is to use variables appended to the URL like so:

mypage.cfm/var_name1,value/var_name2,value/var_name3,value

Then strip these variables from the server variable SCRIPT_NAME and plug
then into your fusebox.

Search engines and stats packages like Webtrends are happy to index these
URLs, allegedly.

RE: fusebox stats

[Ben Lowndes]

I'd take it a step further and say it isn't efficent to a DB insert for
every page hit. It would be better to load the fuseaction, CFID, CFToken &
whatever else you want into an application scoped structure. Then on a daily
basis insert this structure into a DB and empty it..

Infact, I believe some people on the Fusebox mailing list are working on a
project that does precisely this.

Ben.

RE: fusebox stats

[dougn]

It sounds simple, but under tremendous load, your insert operations will
probably cause locking issues and could drown the server.

An EJB or COM object in the middle tier to receive this would probably be
safer.

RE: fusebox stats

[Scott Cavanaugh]

I would look at writing a custom tag that keeps track of statistical data
(ie hits on a page).
Include that custom tag in the pages you wish statistical data to be
gathered on and save those results in a database.
You could even use the data you collect to produce your own reports.

Just of the top of my head.

RE: fusebox stats

[Zachary Bedell]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Umm  Inserts shouldn't cause DB locking issues unless there were
updates or selects going on at the same time.  If the table is just
used for logging, then locks should only be an issue when someone's
actually generating a report from the tables.  And even then inserts
shouldn't clash with selects.

I don't think adding another layer would help matters any -- what's
the difference between calling OLEDB to do an insert vs. calling a
COM object to call OLEDB to do the insert?  All that does is add
another layer that every page request has to wait on.  It eats more
server RAM (*especially* the EJB), and just adds to the confusion.

Not that writing to the DB on every single page access is such a
*great* thing, but it shouldn't be *that* bad.  If you are indeed
logging all request to the DB, you might try disabling the
webserver's logging capabilities to gain back some of what you're
losing to the DB.

I thot adding a .htm to a fusebox URL enabled stats programs to keep

Re: fusebox stats (talking aloud)

[Eric Dawson]

Well the good thing, and the bad thing is, it makes sense to do your own 
logging.

Good thing is ... you can more definitely specify what you want to track. 
Bad news (the same as the good news). A classic double edged sword.

I get a little excited when I think about what you can do. I think about 
scorecarding, revenue projections, demographic slice and dice. woo hoo. fun 
stuff.

I am planning on doing this sort of logging. Operative word. planning. yeah 
that planning IS done on a crowded Winnipeg patio drinking a cool one in the 
sun, but nevertheless, planning.

UserID.
Page, Application, Method. whatever.
Client Information.
Browser Information.

Keep the logging as simple as possible, but use extended databases to 
perform the analysis and reporting. ie use the userid to key into the user 
profile database. Use postal/zip code (in the absense of demographic 
profiles) to approximate demographic profiles.

Use business intelligence tools (cognos, seagate analysis) to organize the 
data for analysis. automate and publish distribution.

Revenue projections based on projected log statistics. Comparing performance 
to projections. and how the log stats are used to project business 
statistics like revenue, new customers etc. market share.

Just yapping. Please don't filter my emails just yet. I am done.

Eric
