| Unable to open plug-in library: C:\Program Files (x86)\Atomic Labs\Pion\plugins\SnifferReactor.dll |
The problem may be due to WinPcap not being installed, since the SnifferReactor depends on it. The Pion installer attempts to install WinPcap if it doesn't find it already installed, and if it fails, you can't use SnifferReactor. |

| How much disk storage does Pion Replay require? |
Storage requirements for Pion Replay vary greatly depending on your individual configuration, the average size of your pages, traffic volume, etc. An extremely rough equation is 1 TB for 1 month at a volume of 1 million pages/day. |

| Tracking form abandonment |
Unfortunately, some things can only be measured using page tags, and form abandonment is one of them. The attached HTML file provides example code for tracking abandoned forms with Pion. When a form is abandoned, the browser will send a 1-pixel image request (PION_selfTag) with query parameters (including last field) to your server. Pion can easily be configured to detect these events and deliver them to your analytics provider for analysis. |

| Do clicks need to go through Pion servers before coming to a site? |
No, however we do recommend installing a dedicated Pion server at your data center (where your website is hosted) if you use multiple web servers. The server can be either our Reactor Core appliance offering or any x86-based hardware (Dell, IBM, HP, etc.). The traffic does not pass through our server but rather it passively monitors the traffic going to and from the website using a technique known as packet sniffing. As such, Pion is physically incapable of slowing down or impacting your traffic in any way. |

| What (mobile) analytics does Pion provide? |
Pion doesn't provide any analytics or reporting, just data capture, processing, integration and storage. For example, you can use Pion to capture data for Google Analytics (as an alternative to their page tags or server-side scripting). Or, you can use Pion to create custom data warehouses for real-time dashboards and business intelligence. |

| Using Pion with Urchin |
Pion Lite cannot be used with Urchin because it supports only cloud-based web analytics service providers, such as Google Analytics. However, it is very easy to integrate Pion Enterprise or Pion Replay with Urchin by using our LogOutputReactor to store traffic into log files:
Pion will now populate a log file with all of your clickstream traffic. This log file can be used in place of your web server log files. |

| What is a Pion "Reactor?" |
A Pion Reactor performs a defined task, and there are many specialized Reactors. Each reactor performs a specific task, and each reactor is specialized for a particular task. A Reactor can be thought of as atomic in the sense in that it is the smallest unit of work. Reactors are the basic building blocks which are chained together to accomplish tasks.
