This report displays the total number of distinct visitors to your website. For authenticated portals, visitors are tracked by identifying logged-in users. For anonymous websites, users are tracked both by using a browser cookie to identify a user on a particular computer as a single visitor, and by identifying visitor IP addresses. This report displays the visitor's username, cookie identifier or IP address (for anonymous SharePoint sites). When configuring Active Directory updates, additional user information can be displayed, such user name, role, etc.

When tracking unique users on anonymous websites, there is no simple way to identify if a single person uses different browsers to visit your site. In this case, if a visitor uses different browsers to visit your website, each browser will be counted as a distinct visitor in Analytics. Similarly, there is no way to identify if more than one person shares the same computer and browser to visit your website. This activity is logged as one visitor. Additionally, if user identification is based on IP address, when a user's IP address changes, they will be identified as a new user.

CardioLog Analytics also supports scenarios where a SharePoint site is available both for authenticated and anonymous users. For more information see Monitoring Authenticated Users in an Anonymous Environment After They Sign In
