<div dir="ltr">We have an idle timeout set on our captive portal. I think it is set at 60 minutes. This allows patrons to leave for a short time and they won't have to agree to the AUP when they return. Any device reconnecting outside of that 60 minute timeout will get counted again. They will have to accept the AUP again, so they get counted again. I am not saying that this is the right way, but it is how we do it. We figure if it is a short time away then we won't annoy them a second time with the AUP.<div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div><img src="http://www.coshoctonlibrary.org/images/signature.jpg"><br></div></div>

That being said, what log-interpreting software is there to take the raw<br>
log data and convert it into human-readable format? Since I started<br>
using Google Analytics for my web stats, I must admit that I have no<br>
idea what to use or where to get "easy to use" software to churn through<br>
the log files - without having to add layers of hardware to our setup<br>
just to count beans.<br>

Chad's " rogue" library still uses Untangle, running as a virtual PC,<br>
getting a weekly and monthly use reports.<br>
Adam (Rossford Library) use of it convinced me to try it about January<br>
2013, replacing ZoneCD<br>
It has been working fine here.<br>
<br>
345 user login events in Feb 2013 and 558 last month.<br>
A couple of staff devices and our local newspaper<br>
reporter/photographer are set to bypass the acceptance page.<br>
<br>
Reading the various posts I installed some of the s/w Joe Knueven<br>
mentioned from <a href="http://www.softperfect.com" target="_blank">www.softperfect.com</a> on a DeepFreeze'd laptop to test.<br>
Some of it is neat.<br>
<br>
FWIW: Network Scanner does seem to be workable , at least for sampling.<br>
<br>
Below is a snapshot for about 2 hours<br>
10.10.10.1 is Untangle, .5, .6 & .177 are our 3 access points.<br>
10.10.10.184 is the laptop running Network Scanner<br>
Dark host name are still connected, light have disconnected.<br>
The log file is auto generated<br>
