Using Pion with Urchin
No votes yet

Pion Lite cannot be used with Urchin because it supports only cloud-based web analytics service providers, such as Google Analytics.  However, it is very easy to integrate Pion Enterprise or Pion Replay with Urchin by using our LogOutputReactor to store traffic into log files:

  1. Use Pion's setup wizard to create your initial Reactor pipeline.  When prompted, leave "analytics provider" set to "none."
  2. Drag and drop a new LogOutputReactor from the "Processing" reactor types into your workspace.
  3. Give the reactor a descriptive name such as "Urchin logs"
  4. Choose a filename to use for the log files such as "urchin.log"
  5. Choose a codec to use (several should work but we recommend using the "IIS" codec)
  6. Connect your ClickstreamReactor's output to the new LogOutputReactor

Pion will now populate a log file with all of your clickstream traffic.  This log file can be used in place of your web server log files.
