Working with the Urchin Appliance

With the Urchin Appliance you will be achieving the next level of website monitoring. The combination of proven web analysis software, scalable hardware and comfortable user interfaces is the key feature for almost any industry to deploy the Urchin Appliance.

Additional functionality, such as the integrated backup solution, the highly sophisticated log file retrieval and the intuitively designed Appliance Management Tool, create a genuine added value for any enterprise. Since 2002, webalytics, as the first and exclusive authorized company holding the title “Urchin Certified Partner,” has been the first choice when it comes to analyzing and optimizing websites.

The Urchin Appliance automates many routine tasks, receiving and meaningfully renaming of log files located on other web servers. These transferred files are then stored in a clear directory structure and the contained IP addresses made permanently anonymous by means of pre-parsing, if required.

• Highly sophisticated log file management (retrieval and management)
• Pre-parsing for modifying data lines in log files
• Ensuring the compression of received log files
• Backup function to prevent data loss by backing up 
• Appliance data on local or remote storage media.
• Testing of regular expressions within the AMT before assigning them to filters or goals

The Appliance Management Tool (AMT) allows for configuring the Urchin Appliance as well as Urchin from Google over an intuitive and easily serviceable graphical user interface.
