WebKit Administrative Routines
WebKit includes routines which simplify the administration of a Web server.
PageMinder helps you manage the pages in the document tree. You simply specify the document tree root, and PageMinder does the rest. It catalogs each document in the document tree in the PAGES file. For each document, the PAGES file contains
- the URL of the document
- a Checksum of the contents
- a list of all URL's linked to by the document
- a list of all the images loaded by the document
- a change history
PageMinder includes routines that will
- automatically archive documents that have changed
- test links and image references to ensure that they are still valid
- generate reports on document change history
- generate a document index for all the pages on your site
The Border Patrol routines make it easy to keep track of who is visiting
your site. Border Patrol routines parse the information collected in the
web server logs into a database file. Standard reports include:
- Pages accessed by hit frequency
- Client hosts listed by access frequency
- Time sequential reports of all accesses
- Summaries of numbers of hits, bytes accesses
In several cases, the reports contain links to help drill down on information.
For example, in the pages accessed by hits reports, each page name is a link
that will produce a report of what client hosts accessed that page in the last
week.
The CAR processing functions start with the creation of a custom CAR database file
that defines the information that you want to collect from customers, prospects,
or other contacts that visit your web site. From the CAR file, you can specify
one or more different contact forms that are used to collect the information.
CAR processing stores the information on the server in the CAR database file
as well as generating an immediate email message containing the information to the
specified email address. Easy to use administrative forms allow you to
generate reports from the information stored in the CAR file or to download
it to your systems in a format that makes it easy to incorporate the data
into your operational systems.
All PageMinder, Border Patrol, and CAR routines are administered through easy
to use HTML forms, accessible only via password protected pages.
