Advanced Counters

If you require more targeted information than is provided by the statistics utility or log files, you can configure page-specific hit logging using the advanced counter script. This option is intended for advanced users.

An advanced counter output sample is available:

Targeted Hit Logging

The advanced counter script logs the following information for monitored pages:

• Time and date
• URL visited
• Remote IP address
• Server name
• Referring URL

How to Use Advanced Counters

To monitor a page using the advanced counter script, simply include the following code in the page body (replacing "filename" with your preferred page identifier for the log entry):

<IMG WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0" SRC="/cgi-t/logcount.pl?filename">

Advanced counter log files are named "count.txt", and are stored in your "_private" directory. This directory is located within your document root ("htdocs"). If it doesn't already exist, it will be created automatically the first time a hit is logged.
