Urchin (software)
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Urchin is a web statistics analysis program developed by Urchin Software Corporation. Urchin is used to analyze web server log file content and display the traffic information on that website based upon the log data. Sales of Urchin products ended on March 28, 2012.
Urchin software can be run in two different data collection modes: log file analyzer or hybrid. As a log file analyzer, Urchin processes web server log files in a variety of log file formats. Custom file formats can also be defined. As a hybrid, Urchin combines page tags with log file data to eradicate the limitations of each data collection method in isolation.[1] The result is more accurate web visitor data.[2]
Urchin became one of the more popular solutions for website traffic analysis, particularly with ISPs and web hosting providers. This was largely due to its scalability in performance and pricing model.[citation needed]
Urchin Software Corp. was acquired by Google in April 2005, forming Google Analytics. In April 2008, Google released Urchin 6.[3] In February 2009, Google released Urchin 6.5, integrating AdWords.[4] Urchin 7 was released in September 2010 and included 64-bit support, new UI and event tracking among other features.[5][6]
Google discontinued the product and sales ended on March 28, 2012.[7][8]
