Hello,

I am trying to figure out why Analog is reporting less requests than 
there really are.

I think it is caused by some *REF*EXCLUDE commands.

We need to exclude some referrals (from our own server), so we use this:

REFLINKEXCLUDE http://example.com/*
REDIRREFLINKEXCLUDE http://example.com/*

REFEXCLUDE http://example.com/*
REFEXCLUDE http://www.example.com/*
REFSITEEXCLUDE http://example.com/*
REFSITEEXCLUDE http://www.example.com/*

It seems that Analog excludes the whole line with those referers.  Is 
that true?

The problem is that we have log lines like this:
112.227.54.4 - - [08/Jan/2002:15:58:33 +0000] "GET 
/track/0/site/loggedin/oink HTTP/1.1" 200 85 
"http://www.example.com/oink"; "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; 
Windows NT 5.0; T312461)"

There are out tracking 'images'.  If Analog excludes the whole line 
based on the referrer, then we will excluding 90% of our hits...

I thought that using those *REF*EXCLUDE commands only excluded those 
lines from referral reports, so www.example.com/oink here wouldn't be 
counted in the ref and refsite reports, but the request would count, 
unless excluded by some other command.

Can anyone set me straight, please?

Thanks,
Otis
