Overview of Preparing Standard Web Log Data

The SAS Data Surveyor for Clickstream Data is capable of processing the standard Web log types indicated in Data Sources. Since these log files are generated by the Web server as the user activity was occurring on the Web site, little needs to be done to prepare these for processing.
Simply place the log files in a common location that can be accessed by the application server or servers that will process the logs. Note that all log data should be processed in chronological order.
