NimbostratusIntegrating WebTrends with F5
What's the recommended way to get data into a WebTrends server? Doing a search on F5's site (and Google) turns up a press release dateed 1999 about integration but searching F5's and WebTrends' site find nothing of a technical nature.
Any help here? We're not using the webtrends JavaScript as it doesn't capture anything but executable HTML pages and not other assets (PDF, JPG, et al.)
thanks,
greg
Brian_Gupta_115I suspect this dates back to when WebTrends used log analysis vs. Javascript tags to do their reporting...
-Brian
Gregory_Gerard_WebTrends still does log analysis (and is the only way I know of to gather reports on assets that can't host their JavaScript hooks.
Any ideas about log transformations that work best for F5?
Is this something I should file with tech support? If nothing else but to remove the press release so it doesn't mislead.- Brian_Gupta_115What log formats does webtrends support. BigIP can log to a remote Syslog or Syslog-ng system.
By default Bigip does not log requests. You will need to write an iRule that logs these requests. Should be relatively straightforward. Is there a generic syslog parser that you can customise in webtrends?
-Brian - Brian_Gupta_115If you want help from F5, it would be best to engage their PS team. If you aren't in a super rush, and want to learn iRules. I am willing to help you work through this.

Ryanne_Frost_76Did anyone ever get this working? i'm looking into the same thing ( integrating big ip with webtrends to do my web statistics)
sanjay_Shah_813Did anyone ever get this working? I'm looking in to integrating BigIP with webtrends for web analytic using Java script.?
