Multi Domain Logfiles
   

Some web servers generate a single logfile containing data for all the hosted websites. Each line in the file specifies the virtual host name the file was served from. A special configuration option permits the ClickTracks Server to process such logfiles efficiently:

1.Define all the virtual servers as distinct domains, as if they each had individual logfiles, but don't actually define a Web Server / FTP logfile processor for any of them. Use the New Domain Wizard to do this.  

For Example:  
 
Define a new Domain, using the New Domain Wizard, for each of the virtual servers in your logfile. Be sure to add each domain under the same dataset name:  
 
Logfile contains entries for the following virtual servers:  
 
www.site1.com  
www.site2.com  
 
 
Datasets
Domains
Web Servers
MultiDomain Dataset
www.site1.com


www.site2.com




 
 
3.Define the Multi-domain entry:  
4.Right-Click on the dataset name that contains the virtual server entered above and select Add multi-domain logfile.  
5.Input the required data as prompted by the Multi-domain Wizard. This will create a single Web Server entry. Example: LogFiles  
 
 
Datasets
Domains
Web Servers
MultiDomain Dataset
www.site1.com


www.site2.com

As the server processes logfile lines it will place the virtual servers into the appropriate domain on-the-fly.
