But because the volume of clickstream data can be so high, it can be slow -- or even impossible -- to perform such analyses. You may need a specialized data reduction, manipulation, and reporting tool for web logs.
Solutions:
The CoSort product's Sort Control Language (SortCL) tool can:
• process web log files directly
• apply selection logic to filter and segment logs
• reduce the bulk to be transformed and stored
• join related transaction data from other files
• compare files and captur/report changed data
• sort rows to speed aggregations, joins, loads
• create custom detail and summary reports
CoSort further supports the analysis and presentation of clickstream data through:
• metadata and processing support for C/ELF
• IP address and timestamp data support
• multiple output targets and formats for BI tools
• web-ready reports (via embedded HTML tags)
• reducing and reformatting data for dashboards
