Adding logfiles

As you use ClickTracks regularly to evaluate and understand how visitors interact with your site you will need to import the latest logfiles from your web server. Most web servers rotate the logfile at 4:00 am on the first day of the week or month. It's very inconvenient to have to wait until this time to import the latest data, so you will probably want to import the latest data from the active logfile.

When importing a logfile ClickTracks examines it to determine if it has already loaded some of the data from it on a previous occasion. This will be true frequently if you are importing an active logfile to which the server is adding new data. Each time this file is imported ClickTracks will examine it and load only the new data.

You can always just import logfiles into a data set, and rely on ClickTracks to work out which data is new.
