<a name="Unique Visitor"><b>Unique Visitor</b></a>:<br>
A unique visitor is a host that has made at least 1 hit
on 1 page of your web site during the current period shown by the report.
If this host make several visits during this period, it is counted only once.<br>
The period shown by AWStats reports is by default the current month.<br>
However if you use AWStats as a CGI you can click on the "year" link to have a report for all the year.
In a such report, period is full year, so Unique Visitors are number of hosts that have made at least 1 hit
on 1 page of your web site during those year.<br>
<hr>
<a name="Visits"><b>Visits</b></a>:<br>
Number of visits made by all visitors.<br>
Think "session" here, say a unique IP accesses a page, and then requests three others without an hour
between any of the requests, all of the "pages" are included in the visit, therefore you should expect
multiple pages per visit and multiple visits per unique visitor (assuming that some of the unique IPs are
logged with more than an hour between requests)<br>
<hr>
<a name="Pages"><b>Pages</b></a>:<br>
The number of "pages" logged. Only files that don't match an entry in the NotPageList config
parameter (and match an entry of OnlyFiles config parameter if used) are counted as "Pages".
Usually pages are reserved for HTML files or CGI files, not images nor other files requested as a result
of loading a "Page" (like js,css... files).<br>
<hr>
<a name="Hits"><b>Hits</b></a>:<br>
Any files requested from the server (including files that are "Pages") except those that match
the SkipFiles config parameter.<br>
<hr>
<a name="Bandwidth"><b>Bandwidth</b></a>:<br>
Total number of bytes downloaded.<br>
<hr>
<a name="Entry Page"><b>Entry Page</b></a>:<br>
First page viewed by a visitor during its visit.<br>
Note: When a visit started at end of month to end at beginning of next month,
you might have an Entry page for the month report and no Exit pages.<br>
That's why Entry pages can be different than Exit pages.<br>
<hr>
<a name="Exit Page"><b>Exit Page</b></a>:<br>
Last page viewed by a visitor during its visit.<br>
Note: When a visit started at end of month to end at beginning of next month,
you might have an Entry page for the month report and no Exit pages.<br>
That's why Entry pages can be different than Exit pages.<br>
<hr>
<a name="Session Duration"><b>Session Duration</b></a>:<br>
The time a visitor spent on your site for each visit.<br>
Some Visits durations are 'unknown' because they can't always be calculated. This is the major reason for this:<br>
- Visit was not finished when 'update' occured.<br>
- Visit started the last hour (after 23:00) of the last day of a month (A technical reason prevents AWStats from
calculating duration of such sessions).<br>
<hr>
<a name="Grabber"><b>Grabber</b></a>:<br>
A browser that is used primarily for copying locally an entire site. These include
for example "teleport", "webcapture", "webcopier"...<br>
<hr>
<a name="AddToFavourites"><b>Add To Favourites</b></a>:<br>
This value, available in the "miscellanous chart", reports an estimated value of the number
of times a visitor has added your web site into its favourite bookmarks.<br>
The technical rules for that is the following:<br>
<i>Number of Add to Favourites = round((x+y) / r)</i> where<br>
x = Number of hits made by IE browsers for "/anydir/favicon.ico" with no 404 error<br>
y = Number of hits made by IE browsers for "/favicon.ico" (with or without 404 error)<br>
r = Ratio of hits made by IE browsers compared to hits made by all browsers (r <= 1)<br>
<br>
<hr>
<a name="HTTP"><b>HTTP Status Codes</b><a>:<br>
HTTP status codes are returned by web servers to indicate the status of a request.
Codes <b>200</b> and <b>304</b> are used to tell the browser the page can be viewed.
All other codes generates hits and traffic 'not seen' by the visitor. For example a return
code 301 or 302 will tell the browser to ask another page. The browser will do another hit
and should finaly receive the page with a return code <b>200</b> and <b>304</b>.
All codes that are 'unseen' traffic are isolated by AWStats in the HTTP Status report chart,
enabled by the directives <a href="awstats_config.html#Show">ShowHTTPErrorsStats</a>.
in config file. You can also change value for 'not error' hits (set by default to <b>200</b> and <b>304</b>
with the <a href="awstats_config.html#ValidHTTPcodes">ValidHTTPcodes</a> directive.
The following table outlines all status codes defined for the HTTP/1.1 draft specification
outlined in <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2068/rfc2068">IETF rfc 2068</a>.<br>
They are 3-digit codes where the first digit of this code identifies the class of the status
code and the remaining 2 digits correspond to the specific condition within the response class.
They are classified in 5 categories:<br>
<ul>
<li><font face="arial"><font size=-1><a href="#1">1xx - informational</a></font></font></li>
<li><font face="arial"><font size=-1><a href="#2">2xx - successful</a></font></font></li>

SMTP status codes are returned by mail servers to indicate the status of a sending/receiving mail.
The status code depends on mail server and preprocessor used to analyze log file.<br>
All codes that are failure codes are isolated by AWStats in the SMTP Status report chart,
enabled by the directives <a href="awstats_config.html#Show">ShowSMTPErrorsStats</a> in AWStats
config file. You can decide which codes are successfull mail transfer that should not appear
in this chart with the <a href="awstats_config.html#ValidSMTPCodes">ValidSMTPCodes</a> directive.<br>
Here are values reported for most mail servers (This should also be values when mail log file
