Summary Reports contain the basic information about the organizations, users, visits and requests analyzed from the log file. Detail reports add additional statistics, charts, graphs, and tables to show a more comprehensive picture of the usage.
Report Writer can produce twelve different pre-configured summary reports. The following list indicates what each summary report shows, and what it will help you determine about your Web site.
- Bandwidth : Lists the average amount of bandwidth used each day, and offers analyses by day of week, hour of a day, and work vs. non-work hours. This helps to determine if special circumstances are saturating bandwidth and causing performance problems, or if connection problems are suggested by abnormal bandwidth usage.

- Executive : Highlights the information contained in the Detail reports.
- Executive Summary for Extended Logs : Highlights the information in the Detail reports for users of extended log files.
