Urchin Software is an installable software product that requires server side configuration, database setup, and log processing. Maintenance of Urchin software entails significant technical overhead, since system administrators will need to monitor log files, backup data and perform product updates.
The Software should be set up by a system administrator with access to webserver logs. It comes bundled with an Apache webserver binary for configuration and report delivery, and uses 3rd party database software (mysql or postgresql depending on platform). |
