Overview
To complete the installation, please follow these additional steps:
-
1. Configure DNS settings
2. Configure log rotation
3. Automate Urchin processing
4. Check Advanced Settings
DNS
DNS Settings are found in the Urchin 4 Configuration under Settings
Process
Settings configuration window. Additional information is provided in
the help
on that page for configuration DNS.
Log Rotation
Urchin 4 now includes a log tracking module which keeps track of how
far into
each log it has processed so far. Thus, log file rotation does not
necessarily need to be coordinated with Urchin operation. Urchin 4
does not
provide automation for log rotation or disposal. Please consult your
webserver configuration for properly rotating log files.
Automate Urchin
In the Urchin 4 configuration under the Scheduler Task Manager,
each profile
can be scheduled to run at an appropriate time. More information is
available
in the help on that screen.
Check Advanced Settings
Before continuing operation under Urchin 4, check the options in the
advanced
settings for each profile. Click on the Edit button to the right of
the
profile, and select the Advanced Settings tab to see if any
additional
parameters need to be changed. Specific details are provided in the
help on
that screen. In particular, you may want to consider installing the
Urchin
Tracking Module to improve accuracy and enable unique visitor
reporting.
More information on this system is available in a separate whitepaper
entitled, Urchin Traffic Monitor (UTM).
