Reporting Question

jvigil — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:31:59 GMT

Is there a way to report on all users that have gone to a specific site? I have a PA 2050 that I am evaluating and is in TAP mode.

You can create a custom report under monitor/manage custom reports.

When you create the report you can use the URL log.

Make sure and select at least the following columns for the report:

destination address, source address and/or source user, url

Then you can add a condition that says:

URL = abcurl.com

Thank you,

I am looking at added duration of how long they were on the site, is this possible. I see a time stamp but not duration.

Hi,

Duration is actually not measurable for web traffic.

Duration means browse time, and it is different from download time. For example, I take 10 minutes to load a webpage but actually I can stay in that page for 1 hour or 1 sec.

Some vendors will use some assumptions that no. of HTML pages x 60s= browse time. But this assumption is not scientific at all, and will subject to argument from end-user if a company is using it as HR or productivity measurement.

If you are looking for some references about user activity in a specific webpage, you can use repeat count.

Please also reach your local PAN SE to understand more about it.
