How do I track which webtrends reports are being used

WebTrends Report Tracking

I have a single webTrends server handling reports for many different sites and servers. I have asked the other admins to remove any reports they are not utilizing since the server is really worked to the max most days.

I am certain that I am the only person who has encountered this anomoly, but the users are doing nothing, they are not cleaning up the reports as I had asked . . . oh the horror.

Well, now I would very much like to simply look, see what reports get looked at, delete the rest to free up some of my server resources.

Any ideas?

Users accessing Webtrends reports always show up in your stats. Let's say you keep one site's webtrends reports in a folder called "stats". You should see entries for

yoursite.com/stats/default.html etc

among your top pages report.

Is this any help?

I found the answer by researching the user tracking aspect. The WebTrends server does have a log file called wt_remote.log which is basically the same as any other weblog, so it was simple to create a report based on this log.

As a bonus, I can see how many pages each user views, and what they are!

Thanks for the help!
