In /mint/?visits, under the section titled: Past Week (by day), i can see the number of daily unique visitors for the past week. These are the numbers i am looking for. However, there are only 14 rows. Is there a way to find the numbers for the last 60 days?
How to find historic data for unique visits, based on daily timeframe?
Maybe my question is clearer when i put it this way:
The Past Week pane of the Visits pane shows the number of daily unique visitors for the current day and the past 6 days.
By going to /mint/?visits, you can find the same numbers for the current day and the past 13 days.
By default, data is retained for 5 weeks or up to 25MB. This timespan does not apply to the aggregate Total hits and Unique visitors data of the Default Pepper’s Visits pane or other Pepper that store aggregate data.
So, is there a way to retrieve the numbers for the past 60 days?
No. The 5 weeks quoted above refers to unique visit data (referrer, resource, time of visit, etc) not the aggregate total/uniques used by the Visits pane.
Ok, so i would have to manually keep a record of these numbers.
Still, as you say, the Visits pane stores aggregate data. It does not seem immediately plausible how this data can be computed, when data, such as time of visit, is discarded after 5 weeks. What is left for Mint to reference to determine the aggregate numbers?
I am not asking for the sake of scrutiny. I am developing a little game based on these numbers and would like to be able to explain them.
Aggregate totals/uniques are incremented in real time when the hits occur and then stored separately from the rest of the eventually discarded visit data.
