Example data for tutorials

Imply Lumi tutorials use example data from the following files which simulate web traffic to a fictional online store.

The data represents website activity for an imaginary company that operates a web store. The company uses server logs to analyze site traffic and manage inventory.

Depending on the tutorial, you download one of the following:

The files contain one week of logs, ending with the current day. The data is refreshed daily, so your results may vary slightly from those shown in the tutorials.

To download the files, click the links above or run the following commands in a terminal:

wget https://docs.imply.io/data/site_visitors.log
wget https://docs.imply.io/data/site_visitors_quickstart.csv
