PRIMUS provides all of our Unix virtual host customers with weekly web reports via email. The default configuration will generate the report on a weekly basis. These reports provide the user with a statistical record of traffic to their web site. They may also provide an indication of potential problems, including broken links and scripting errors. You web report will look something like the sample below:

Start timestamp    = 1998/08/16 06:45:00 -0400] 
End timestamp      = 1998/08/21 12:12:11 -0400] 
Records processed  =     104
Malformed records  =       0
Total okay hits    =      91
Total other hits   =      13
Total unique hosts =       7
Total MB traffic   = 0.524
