If the plug-in passes information to the Web server in a form that is logged in the Web server's log file, NetTracker should be able to analyze it. Two methods for analyzing content delivered by browser plug-ins are tracking parameters and tracking page requests.

You can set up Macromedia Flash to pass information to the Web server via parameters in the query string. (See Macromedia's Rich Media Advertising Resource Center for details.) Because the query string is written to the log file, you can configure NetTracker to report on those parameters. You can then use the parameter values as filters in custom reports and visitor profiles to provide a more complete view of your users' behavior. (See The NetTracker Parameter Summary for details on configuring NetTracker to report on parameters. See Unleashing the Power of NetTracker for details on filtering custom reports.)

Another way to track users' behavior in the plug-in is to analyze which pages the plug-in requests from the server. For example, if the browser plug-in requests specific groups of pages depending on the users' behavior, you can create content groups, visitor profiles, and custom reports to analyze how often these pages are delivered.
