Web Usage (AWSTATS) Report Results -Robot and Spider Visitors Section
The Robots/Spiders Visitors section shows the ten robot or spider applications that connected to your site most frequently and the number of hits these applications generated, the bandwidth they used, as well as the date timestamp when the last visit by the robot or spider application occurred.
The number of different robot or spider applications that connected to your site during the reporting period is displayed in the first row of the table.
To display information about only a specific robot or spider application, enter all or part of the application name in the Filter field and click OK. The system should display a shorter list that contains the best matches for your filter criteria.
From the navigation area or title bar of the report, click the:
Full list link to see the hits, bandwidth used, and last visit made by all robot and spider applications that connected to your site during the reporting period.
Last visit link to see when each robot or spider application last connected to your site, how many hits were recorded for that visit, and the amount of bandwidth that was used. The applications are listed in sequential order by last visit timestamp before the report cut-off date.

| Chart Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Robot | Name of the robot or spider application (if known) that accessed your site The total number of known robot and spider applications that accessed your site is included in the Robots label in the row after the table title (Robots/Spiders visitors). |
| Pages | Total number of your site pages that robots or spider applications have accessed during the reporting period. A site page is an HTML or CGI file downloaded from static servers or generated by the application software, and can contain multiple pieces of content. Note that this number of pages includes pages viewed by site visitor traffic only and does not include site pages accessed by robot or worm applications, or pages displayed with an HTTP status problem such as Page Not Found. |
| Hits | Average number of times the system downloaded a file containing a piece of content (such as, an image, icon, button, CSS, Javascript, MPEG, and so on) to display on a Web page as well as the Web page itself during the reporting period. For example, a site page that has 2 images and calls a java script file will generate a total of 4 hits each time it is accessed. Note that this number of hits includes hits from site visitor traffic only but does not include hits from known robot or worm applications or pages displayed with HTTP status problems such as a missing graphic. |
| Bandwidth | Average number of bytes that robots or spider applications downloaded. For example, if you have a Web page that has 50KB of text, 24KB in one image file, and 32KB in another image file, robot or spider application that accessed that page took 106KB of your bandwidth. |
| Last Visit | Date and time when the last site page was accessed by robot and spider application during the reporting period |
