How are hits counted?

[MrDanielLewis]

How is the hit count counted in Webinator?

We are occasionally going over our allowed hit limit by about 100 hits.

Our limit is 10,000 hits, but when I check the IIS log files we are only getting about 7000 to 8500 hits for the 24 hour period before the hit limit warning clears. This includes use of the dowalk script.

We are finding this quite puzzling.

Does anything else count as a hit? Do any hits actually count as two hits? I presume a scheduled walk counts as a hit, but does it count as more than one hit?

Thanks
Daniel

Each invocation is a hit. A walk will be at least 2 hits, 1 for the supervisor and 1 for the crawler. There will be multiple crawlers invoked if you have multiple sites or a crawler hits a memory size or other limit.

If you're using schedule "on change" there will be an invocation every 15 minutes to check for change.

Thanks

Based on that our walks should only count for about 30 hits.

Are there any searches that can count as two hits?

If you have Query Logging enabled, each click-through on a results page link counts as a hit (in addition to the search itself), because Texis must be invoked to log the click-through.

If you have a pre-release of Webinator with the "Metasearch" feature, then propagating the search to the backends each counts as its own search.
