I got to provide a statistic for my customer’s public web site. Of course, they are so serious about this. The web site is just a normal asp.net web site, actually a web application, which is a part of their main internal system. As they invested lots of money on the web site, they want to know about it details. How many user have been visited to the web site? How far the step user reach to? All those usage patterns are important for them.
So, the method we decided to use is retrieving data from IIS logs, that we assume more reliable than the counter which is developed in the application. It’s server level. We decided to use log parser. But I have not much time to do it. I wonder if there is any instant solution or sample? Yes we got it http://tinyurl.com/bjvz6v. Microsoft SQL Server Report Pack for Internet Information Services (IIS). But I have a couple of things to be customized. And they are using crystal reporting services. Never mind! I hope I can get something from it as a sample. Better than Nothing.
