D.1 Data Collection

When an object is requested by a visitor, RUEI sees the request and measures the time the Web server requires to present the visitor with the requested object. At this point, RUEI knows who requested the page (the client IP), which object was requested, and from which server the object was requested (server IP). This is shown in Figure D-1.

Figure D-1 RUEI Data Monitoring

Description of Figure D-1 follows
Description of "Figure D-1 RUEI Data Monitoring"

When the Web server responds and sends the requested object to the visitor, RUEI sees that response. At this point, RUEI can see whether there is a response from the server, whether this response is correct, how much time the Web server required to generate the requested object, and the size of the object.

In addition, RUEI can also see whether the object was completely received by the visitor, or if the visitor aborted the download (that is, proof of delivery). Hence, RUEI can determine the time taken for the object to traverse the Internet to the visitor, and calculate the Internet throughput between the visitor and the server (that is, the connection speed of the visitor).

D.1.1 Dynamic and Static Content

Objects requested from a server are either dynamic or static. Dynamic objects are generated live by the server, and are identified by file extensions such as php, php3, php4, asp, aspx, and so on. Static objects are already available for download with no further server action required. These are generally graphic, video, or document files. Note that dynamically-generated objects are typically much more server intensive than static objects. Table D-2 shows a complete list of the object file extensions that are recorded as static.

D.1.2 Forced Objects

The file extensions shown in Table D-4 are used for forced objects. This means that objects with these file extensions will always be recorded as objects, and not pages. This is regardless of the response time, or any errors that are reported for it.

D.1.3 Page and Hit Correlation

Note the correlation of pages and hits is performed on a time basis, and a page and its hits can never have a time difference longer than 15 seconds. A hit gap of longer than 15 seconds means that the hit is no longer considered part of its associated page. In addition, the system recognizes redirects, and correlates this data to the next page view.

Be aware that any download (such as a PDF or large graphics file) that takes longer than 5 minutes to be completed is discarded by RUEI, and not reported. This is regardless of whether or not the download was successful.

D.1.4 End-to-end, Server, and Network Times

The time taken for a requested object to arrive at the client side is called the end-to-end (or e2e) time. It comprises two parts:

  • Server time: the time taken by the server to generate the response.

  • Network time: the time taken required for the response to travel from the server to the client.

D.1.5 Browser Loading and Page Reading Times

As each object within a requested page is received at the client browser, there is sometimes a delay before the browser can start to process and load it. This is known as the browser load time. Once all objects have been loaded, the page is displayed in the client browser. The time from this moment until the next page request is known as the page read (or idle) time. It is the time the client users to review the requested page, and is set to a maximum of two minutes.

D.1.6 Reported Page Views

Be aware that the reported number of page views for a specific or hour can differ depending on the Data browser group you are using. The structure of the information available within the Data browser is explained in Section 3.2, "Understanding the Data Structure". In particular, it is calculated slightly differently between the All sessions group and the All pages group. This is illustrated in Table D-5:

Table D-5 shows the visited page history of two users. As both visitors browse the monitored Web site, the number of pages they have visited are immediately recorded in the All pages group. For example, between 00:00 and 00:15 they had visited five pages. However, because these sessions are still active, they are not yet recorded within the All sessions group. That happens between 01:00 and 01:15, together with the other pages visited in that session.

As the two visitors' sessions progress, the number of visited pages is preserved. Because the All sessions group waits until each is regarded as finished, the related page history is recorded against a later time interval than in the All pages group. However, as can be seen in the totals at the bottom of Table D-5, after both sessions have finished, the total number of page visits reported in each group is the same.

Typically, the All pages group is used for functional analysis, (such as performance monitoring), while the All sessions group is used to identify issues are impacting users.

Finally, be aware that the page views for a session are recorded for the current day when they arrive at least 30 minutes before 12 PM. Thereafter, they are treated as belonging to a new session. Therefore, small differences can arise between reported page views in real-time data (such as the dashboard) and session-based groups.

D.1.7 Dimension Level Values

All dimension level values are limited to 255 characters. If a value is longer than this, it is automatically truncated. Note that truncated data is indicated by ending with an ellipse (…). This restrictions does not apply within the Session diagnostics facility on object level, or to posted form content.

D.1.8 Network Traffic Compression

RUEI can monitor compressed network traffic. Currently, it supports the DEFLATE (zlib) and gzip compression algorithms. Be aware that information about error messages encountered by users is written to the Session diagnostics replay facility (see Section 3.9, "Working With the Session Diagnostics Facility") "as is", and are not decompressed until requested to be viewed. The ability to correctly display such information depends on your browser's capabilities. While Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are fully supported for this purpose, the use of other (unsupported) browsers may present difficulties.
