watchdog for websites

Roadmap

Version 1

1. simple
2. do not store individual requests
   thus there is no pre date data
3. average request processing time
4. error rate (e.g. pre 100 200 requests there are 5 505 responses. 5% error rate)
5. average request pre day
6. average request size?
7. message queue for each project. for verify code logs and ...

Future

1. request pre country / show geo ip on map
2. total request for each uri
3. most used queries: (e.g. ?page=1 ?filter=...)
4. request pre date / total request from A to B months or days
5. estimate the future requests
6. show users using cookie_authorization
7. bounce rate
   users requests the home page / then goes to dashboard /dash/
   then goes to /dash/orders/. keep track of time between requests
   and the route that users take
8. top page
9. returning visitors
10. device type
11. landing page conversion rate
    when users comes to the home pages. does it gose to any other page?
