I would like to report on the average length of time a visitor spends
on our site over a specific period of time. I cannot find this
anywhere...even though I'm told it should be available under Visits
and Pageview tracking. Under this report I only get average visits
and pageviews but not average length of time. Tks.

Try Content Optimization -> Content Performance -> Engagement Metrics.

Great thank you Jeremy. This report times out when querying over an
extended period of time...but results are available for reduced
timeframes. One question...the Time on Site graph has a "Totals"
number just below the Time on Site box which is quite low, yet the
number directly below Time (hh:mm:ss) to the left of the graph seems
to reflect the average time spent. What exactly is the Totals
number? Tks.

Edit the lib/reporting/Default/default.rs2 file. Look for the Content
Performance Section. The last line of this section should look
something like the following:

D 2 0 746 - - - -
16,747 10,26 T $D,
37 - 1 1,2
- 21 - - - - - - -

Replace this with the following:

D 2 0 746 - - - -
16,747 10,26 T $D,
37 - 1 1,2
- 22 - - - - - - -

The only change was changing the 21 to a 22. This will remove the
"Total" and replace it with "Average". It will give you the average
visit length in seconds.
