None of the entries captured by your FILEINCLUDE would be recognized as pages by default, so they wouldn't show up if you were only including Pages in the Request report.

I have read the documentation a number of time, but I'm still missing some things. Spend less time reading the documentation, and more time running Analog with simple test files, and seeing how changes you make to the configuration change the output. It's really the quickest way to understand what's happening - you can make a change and run Analog in 10 seconds, rather than waiting a couple of hours for an response from the list. REQALIAS is an output alias - it simply changes what is displayed in the Request report. The change only occurs in the output, the actual data itself isn't modified. That means that if you REQALIAS two different lines to the same thing, you still have 2 entries in the Request Report, whereas if you FILEALIAS the same lines to the same thing, you only get one line in the Request Report, and the number of requests is the combined number of requests for both lines. Because your website uses non-human readable URLs for it's pages, REQALIAS is a good idea, because you can modify the actual information displayed in the Request report to reflect the real page displayed. so you might have REQALIAS 035E592F-FA2A-267B-5AF64F16D156031F Green Widgets REQALIAS 03DA02E6-FF9C-FE0B-37856AF28E60357A Blue Widgets REQALIAS 03DA0008-F3ED-1110-1AB00948167C27F2 Shopping Cart REQALIAS 03D9FE43-BCE3-8680-163785D70C2B83FF Privacy Notice (Note that the REGEXPI isn't necessary - you haven't specified a Regular expression). Your Request Report would then show the number of requests for Blue Widgets, the Shopping Cart, etc, and, if you used the PAGEINCLUDE comamnd above, the entries should be clickable (you might need to specify the BASEURL too).

Re: [analog-help] How do I Include pages with specific URL parameters?
Thanks for the response. Please believe me, I have read the manual several time over. The practical experience is what is killing me. So, let me see if I understand this correctly. The directive of: FILEALIAS /?objectid=* /* would translate this: /?objectid=FEBA5E7B-F1F6-975E-7040A72105801B36 to this: /FEBA5E7B-F1F6-975E-7040A72105801B36 And if I only wanted to report the number of times this page was requested: /?objectid=FEBA5E7B-F1F6-975E-7040A72105801B36 then I would use the directive: FILEINCLUDE /FEBA5E7B-F1F6-975E-7040A72105801B36 Am I on track so far?

I was going to say yes, but I decided to test it first, and I came across something that surprised me. By default, Analog assumes that logs on a Windows system are case insensitive, and logs on a unix system are case sensitive. It handles the case insensitive situation by lowercasing everything. BUT!!! Items are only aliased once. So when you use FILEALIAS on Windows, you bypass the automatic lowercasing for that request, but the FILEINCLUDE command IS lowercased, so all of a sudden, you have a mismatch between /FEBA5E7B-F1F6-975E-7040A72105801B36 and /feba5e7b-f1f6-975e-7040a72105801b36 In other words, if you're on Windows, you need to add CASE SENSITIVE to the analog.cfg file too, if you use the FILEALIAS technique. On the other hand, if you just use FILEINCLUDE /*?*FEBA5E7B-F1F6-975E-7040A72105801B36 then case isn't an isue, but you will probably also want REQFLOOR 1r REQARGFLOOR 1r if you're doing your tests with one-line logfiles, and DIRSUFFIX index.cfm PAGEINCLUDE *.cfm might also be useful.
