Hi all,

I would like to be able to track the number of visitors on our website. We previously had django-tracking installed and a munin node that tracked the information. Unfortunately we weren't able to continue using it because it broke our website somehow (I don't remember how). 

Does anyone have any ideas for how to create a similar functionality or a similar plugin that can be used?

Regards,

Andréas

Hmmm... what about the classic Google Analytics?

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for the suggestion, and we are of course using GA (I should have mentioned that). The problem is our CEO doesn't like the way GA compiles the information and he also feels that it's too slow, he can't get the views that he would like. 

So we would like to add this information ourselves somehow.

Regards,

Andréas

I know django-statistics ( https://github.com/attuch/django-statistics ) but I have never used

Provided you're OK with a MySQL installation, you can always install
Piwik (http://piwik.org). Then you'd have direct access to the database
for reporting / analysis in realtime.
