Log File Challenges
• Any access logs including IIS and Apache• Managing movement, rotation and archiving of
logs • Many log files require cleaning before analyzes• Web logs contain unwanted entries; robots,
images, routine health checks, internal traffic • For Webtrends this includes both standard log
files and SmartSource Data Collector (SDC) log files.
Log Director - Log File Management
• Implement automated archival process for log files• Support of “workflow” rules you determine,
built on actions and results of the log management process• Conversion of logs from one format into
another
Remove Unwanted Information
Log File ManagementLog File Scrubbing
Log Director - Log Scrubbing
• Remove unwanted entries; bots & spiders, images, routine health checks, internal traffic• Scrub multiple files simultaneously • Process entire directory trees on multiple
servers using multiple file types• Robust logging of actions and results for tracing
and debugging purposes in the event• Automated process - “set it and forget it”
Example
• Retrieve Logs Every Day @ 1 AM• Retrieve from 3 different web servers• Remove automated and bot & spider traffic• Place in central directory on web analytics
server for analysis
Example
• Compress logs into short-term archive directory every week on Sunday @ 4 AM• Retrieve from central analysis server
directory• Compress logs into short-term archive• Remove raw log files and give back server
disk space
Example
• Move short-term archived logs to long-term storage every month on the first day of the month @ 6 AM• Retrieve from short-term storage directory• Move to cheaper network storage• Remove short-term archives and give back
server disk space
Log Director Capabilities
• Schedule activities and identify if, and how often, they should be repeated• Schedule can be any time in the future, or if
in the past they will execute immediately at startup (i.e., “catch up”)• Activities can be set to repeat every:• Hour• Day• Week• Month• Year
Log Director Capabilities
• Set conditions on activities being started• Files exist• Certain number of files exist• File creation and modification dates• File size• Registry values exist or have a specific value
Log Director Capabilities
• Activities that can be performed on files• Transfer via FTP• Move• Copy• Delete• Compress• Scrub• Call external application (e.g., secure FTP,
database extracts or loads, etc.)• Files can be moved from local servers, network
servers, or remote servers
Log Director Capabilities
• “Final” activities upon success or failure
• Create sentinel file
• Add or set registry entries
• Send an e-mail if anything goes wrong

SegmentationHow many have provided:
• Name• City• Age• Height and weight• Sexual preferences
Voluntary Information• Purchases made • Information requests• Service signed up for• Association• Store locator• Search history• Merchandise selections
Involuntary Information• 3rd Party• Observed
• Geo-location• Browser type• Band width• New vs Returning• Frequency, Recency, Latency• Velocity
Collection of customers data falls into four types: Volunteered Info – Obtain information directly from
the customer via forms, surveys, preferences, applications, etc.
Observed Info – Geography, browser type, Organization, New/Returning, usage behaviors, etc.
3rd Party Info – Information obtained from a third party. This may include purchased lists, public information, information brokers, etc.
Predictive – Comparing individual customers against models. This requires creation of a scoring model to compare individual customers against.
VALUE
Sources of Segmentation
Types of Segments• Acquisition Segments – activity you do to attract
people; campaigns, search engine, referrer• Utilization Segments – which of your offerings
are they consuming and how are they using them; key pages, content groups visited
• Audience Segments – Who your visitors are; location, age, gender, lifestyle.
• Engagement Segments – the patterns of their relationships with you; registration status, buyer versus non-buyer, new versus returning visitors
Visitor History• “Visitor History” – key words, campaigns, search
values, site usage and product interests, page interests, frequency, recency, latency, order values, life-time-value
• Works best on site’s with the ability to identify a visitor (e.g., login, e-mail address)
• All pieces of data are stored on a per-visitor basis• This data can be exported into a format that
allows deeper analysis and integration into your other systems
