The By Machine Name
or RDNS report shows the machine ID—NETBIOS name or RDNS value—of
the most frequent visitors to your Web site. LiveStats uses reverse
DNS (Domain Name System) lookup to resolve the machine ID.
The Visitors by Machine Name or RDNS report lets you
see who in your organization is viewing your intranet site. Since you
control the names given to machines on your network, you can identify
which employees and therefore which departments or divisions are accessing
the site. This report can help you compare the frequency of use of different
groups in your organization.
This report can also help you gather information about
outside visitors to your company's Web site. The RDNS value returned
on an RDNS lookup can indicate the country of origin and the company
name of the visitor. For example, an RDNS value ending in ".co.uk" indicates
the visitor is from a company based in the United Kingdom.
If no reverse DNS information is available, the computer
is contacted and asked for its NETBIOS name.
Note: Machine identity is
counted once per visit
Note: Machine name refers
to the computer or NETBIOS name of the visitor. For example:
"computer0001".
Note: RDNS value refers
to the domain name associated with the visitor's IP address. For
example: "support.deepmetrix.com".
