Statistics from information services for February 1999: 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): 26,134,041 total transactions, +38% 20,525 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +29% 6,705 from sac.uky.edu, -12% 122,563 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +9% 11,111,536 from UK campus network workstations, +56% 873,405 from UK Online, +14% 90,001 from local indexing 13,909,306 from the Internet, +29% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 234,783 total transactions, +1% 148,603 from CMS users & servers (ukcc.uky.edu), n/c 66 from sac.uky.edu, +120% 846 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -20% 82,532 from UK campus network workstations, +4% 794 from UK Online, n/a 1,942 from the Internet, -36% Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu): 43,902 total transactions, -15% 21,315 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -15% 175 from sac.uky.edu, -5% 111 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -9% 3,642 UK campus network workstations, -16% 192 from UK Online, n/a 18,467 from the Internet, -20% View (ukcc.uky.edu): 4,759 total transactions, -30% 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 380,790 12,693 2. Scripts 342,488 11,416 3.

Human Environmental Science 9,943 331 Web Browser Information We are now tracking information about the Web browsers used to access some servers. Information recorded includes the version of the browser used and the operating system under which it was running. Some servers are not recording the information and for various reasons some transactions will not have browser information available. The percentages below are the portion of the transactions for which browser information was available. Note that the information recorded is provided by the browsers and in some cases may not be correct.

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 3,338 362 3,700 121.6 2. Weather 715 78 793 26.0 3. Grants 629 68 697 22.9 4. Netnews 568 62 630 20.7 5. Library 287 31 318 10.5 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.
