What's New in 3.6
Whether you are familiar with an older version of Funnel Web or this is the first time you have used it, you may want to check out what we have added to recent versions.
Funnel Web version 3.6 offers a number of new improvements and refinements over previous 3.x releases. It significantly enhances the user experience with more detailed documentation, several new reports and bug fixes.
Most significant in this release is the new Setup Wizard which guides users through their first report using a series of simple dialogs. The user can then use the settings dialogs for more complex processing later.
Also included in this release is:
• New reports, including: Loyalty Index, Circulation Index and Time Online
• Addition of a new Transcript Window to view a log of Funnel Web activity.
• Ability to view the start of each log file by double clicking on the log file in the main list view
• Referral filtering to enable independent verification of banner click throughs from other sites etc.
• Auto homing file open dialogs to assist in file and directory selection
• More detailed log information provided in the main list view.
In addition, this release includes a significant number of bug fixes as detailed in the version history.
What's New in 3.1
Version 3.1 further refines the feature set of version 3 and includes a number of improvements, most notably the 1000% increase in DNS resolution and support for native language versions of the application. We have also refined many of the core features and improved the speed and charting.
What's New in 3.0
Streaming Analysis
The Streaming Analysis engine has been specifically designed for RAM-efficient processing that continuously monitors Web sites in a finite amount of RAM. Streaming analysis can also be used for post-processing very large log files. For example, a 1 GB log file only requires 40MB of RAM for processing. Unlike competing products, Funnel Web's new streaming analysis mode allows users to continuously monitor their Web site regardless of the size of the log file.
Remotely Control Funnel Web From Anywhere
With Funnel Web's powerful platform independent remote control feature it is possible to run a copy of Funnel Web on any server and remotely control the Funnel Web application from any desktop machine regardless of platform. Offering new levels of power in remote control means that users can finally
have access to powerful Unix-based analysis on their desktop machines.
Event Messaging
Event messaging and notification allows organizations to continually monitor their Web site for specific events, such as user accesses and download limits, and trigger messages to the appropriate personnel when those events occur. Using the new event messaging feature users can continuously monitor every Web server transaction in real-time. For instance, users can set up an event to email the sales department when a certain number of downloads has been exceeded. ISPs can monitor for when a user has exceeded their bandwidth. The possibilities are practically endless.
These new features are in addition to an already powerful featureset which includes multilingual support, log archiving and compression, automated FTP upload and download, support for multiple graphics formats and report output.
We hope that you not only enjoy using Funnel Web but get a more complete picture of what is happening with your online traffic.
Please do not forget to register the application the first time you install it since this will ensure you are listed on our internal databases for upgrade notification and special offers.
