Statistics from information services for August 2001: Please read the notes at the end of this report for important information on how the data was gathered and how it can be compared to other months. World-Wide Web Servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu): 50,109,089 total transactions, +17% 21,699 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -4% 88,697 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +161% 21,618,839 from UK campus network workstations, +31% 488,338 from local indexing 27,891,516 from the Internet, +9% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 483,318 total transactions, +80% 399,456 from VM/CMS servers & users (ukcc.uky.edu), +108% 148 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -33% 82,008 from UK campus network workstations, +9% 1,706 from the Internet, +11% (Most campus & Internet access is through the servers at ukcc.uky.edu) Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu): 28,021 total transactions, -6% 21,378 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -4% 6 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +500% 890 UK campus network workstations, -50% 5,747 from the Internet, -1% View (ukcc.uky.edu): 31 total transactions, +24% (This is for the now retired View system. View applications have been moved to the web. This does not count the anonymous View login services, which use the web and are counted above.) 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. Daily Rank Category Total Non-UK Mean 1.

Weather 76 0 76 2.5 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 major changes to the upper-level pages on www.uky.edu in October 1998 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 are largely unaffected however. The primary Web server is running on an ASA Xeon Server (www.uky.edu) using the Apache server under FreeBSD. The primary campus Gopher and Qi/Ph servers are running on an IBM 7060 (gopher.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu) under VM/ESA. Additional Web service is provided by the IBM 7060 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.
