Is there a hit counter for trac to keep a count of how many users are accessing the site?

I'd probably go with Google Analytics or Matomo.

Well, aside from not needing cookies (which would require modifying trac
templates I expect), it's very lightweight. Using something like piwik
or elk on one small-ish trac site would be way overkill. Google too,
even though it's easier to set up.

Unfortunately because of company restrictions, I cannot use a free counter where the count is store on a site or has any potential of accessing our network. So it will have to be totally internal. 

My IT department  has instituted a new helpdesk process that uses a second trac environment as a knowledge base. My end users should search the knowledge base before opening a ticket. I wanted to see if anyone is actually looking at the knowledge base site or skipping the steps and going straight to opening tickets.

Goaccess, awstats, webalizer, will all read webserver logs -- all
internal on your web server. Although in you case why not simply grep
the logs for KB URLs.

Have a look at

https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/VisitCounterMacro

While it may be a bit outdated, I know it worked for me back in der 0.12 days. After all it has no external dependencies, what matters to the usecase in question.
