Statistics from information services for December 1998: Important Note The major changes to the upper-level pages on www.uky.edu on 1 October make it difficult to relate this month's total transactions to earlier figures. The initial page and many of the upper-level pages now make many references for images and scripts, greatly inflating the total number of transactions, but indicative of the increased load created. The figures in the WWW Hit Parade below are largely unaffected by this. World-Wide Web Servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu): 22,531,690 total transactions, -8% 27,908 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -1% 12,394 from sac.uky.edu, +7% 148,225 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +2% 8,984,660 from UK campus network workstations, -13% 772,519 from UK Campus MCI, -23% 4,247 from local indexing 12,581,737 from the Internet, -4% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 202,801 total transactions, -21% 131,182 from CMS users & servers (ukcc.uky.edu), -26% 39 from sac.uky.edu, -65% 568 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -41% 68,644 from UK campus network workstations, -9% 411 from UK Campus MCI, -42% 1,957 from the Internet, -8% Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu): 44,170 total transactions, -4% 23,665 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +7% 8 from sac.uky.edu, -97% 115 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -26% 3,860 UK campus network workstations, -28% 184 from UK Campus MCI, -28% 16,338 from the Internet, -9% View (ukcc.uky.edu): 4,342 total transactions, -20% The servers are used 24 hours each day from all over the world, but most use is from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm, with a concentration from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm Eastern Time. The WWW Hit Parade These were the most popular pages on the main Web servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu). Web client access to the Gopher server is counted below with the other Gopher counts. The count for the Computer Labs is exaggerated because the lab computers are configured to use that page as home. Month Daily Total Mean 1. Computer Labs 264,622 8,821 2. Scripts 255,179 8,506 3.

The View estimates are based on the total number of View and Gopher service accesses. For individual View items the actual counts may be much higher or lower. The figures are total transactions with a daily average. Estimated Avg. Gopher View Total Daily 1. Classes&Registrar 3,946 388 4,334 142.4 2. Weather 785 77 862 28.3 3. Netnews 620 61 681 22.4 4. Grants 618 61 679 22.3 5. HRS 474 47 521 17.1 Notes The services covered here are the World-Wide Web, Gopher, Qi/Ph Directory, and CMS View. CMS View is available only to local CMS users (the anonymous View service uses the CMS Web browser). The other services are available to workstations with campus ethernet access or terminals on multi-user systems with appropriate software. Most of these services are available world-wide over the Internet, although some data is restricted to local users. Web client software (like Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer) can use all of these services, Gopher clients can use all but the Web services, and Ph and Eudora clients can use Qi/Ph services. (We distribute versions of most of these for Macintosh, Windows, and some Unix platforms.) Tracking Web clients is the most complex because of the number of protocols they support. A document on a Web server can refer the client to another Web document, a Gopher item, or Qi/Ph search without the client user's awareness. The transaction counts are counts of Gopher and View menu picks - when someone picks an item from a View or Gopher menu that counts as one transaction. A transaction could lead to a document, a search, or another menu. Web transactions are for documents and searches. What the Web user sees as a single page might involve multiple server transactions. Most Web requests from www.uky.edu are for building the index used by our search service. Qi/Ph transactions are searches and requests for additional information. The primary Web server is running on an IBM PC Server 704 (www.uky.edu) using the Apache server under FreeBSD. The primary campus Gopher and Qi/Ph servers are running on an IBM 9672 (gopher.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu) under VM/ESA. Additional Web service is provided by the IBM 9672 VM/ESA system (ukcc.uky.edu) and others. There are numerous other specialized servers running on these and other machines which are not included here.
