[analog-help] Question re *INCLUDE and Aliases.

[Patrick Finnegan]

I was attempting to get extract internal search arguments from the logs but nothing was appearing in the internal search query or internal search word reports.     The log format looks like:   111.111.111.11 - "sesessionid=X4C2QQ1IOTDYDK0Y1UMURXQ" [10/Jan/2002:16:39:32 +0800] "GET /utilities/search.jsp?searchString=patrick HTTP/1.1" 200 951 "http://www.patrick.com.au/utilities/search.jsp?searchString=cober" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)"   I want the word "patrick" to appear in the int search word report.   The initial settings were:   INTSEARCHQUERY ON INTSEARCHWORD ON INTSEARCHQUERYFLOOR 1r INTSEARCHWORDFLOOR 1r     INTSEARCHENGINE /utilities/search.jsp searchString FILEALIAS       /utilities/search.jsp*                    search  FILEINCLUDE  search REQINCLUDE  search   However if I set FILEINCLUDE /utilities/search.jsp* and comment out REQINCLUDE the search argument reports appear.  I expected FILEALIAS to pick up GET /utilities/search.jsp?searchString=patrick and then FILEINCLUDE and REQINCLUDE to track this file through the alias "search".  Do FILEINCLUDE and REQINCLUDE translate the alias?   I re-read the documentation and changed the settings to:   INTSEARCHENGINE /utilities/search.jsp searchString REQALIAS  /utilities/search.jsp*                    search    I now get the search requests in the report but I also get the other requests which I do not want.    I changed the settings to:   INTSEARCHENGINE /utilities/search.jsp searchString REQALIAS  /utilities/search.jsp*                    search  REQINCLUDE          search   Now I get nothing in the request report because it seems that REQINCLUDE does not translate the alias properly.  However if I use:      INTSEARCHENGINE /utilities/search.jsp searchString REQALIAS  /utilities/search.jsp*                    search  REQINCLUDE          /utilities/search.jsp*   I get just the search requests in the REQ report which is exactly what I need.  The moral of the story seems to be that the *INCLUDE directives do not translate the aliases.  What I would really like to do is set the file alias once in the config file and then refer to that alias when I set any other directives.  Is this possible.     I have also noticed that if I set one FILEINCLUDE or REQINCLUDE all other the other files are excluded by default from the all the reports.  Is this a correct assumption?
