STATUSINCLUDE

ah, missed that. thanks!

Thinking a requests report that only includes
files with status "500 Internal server error"
might be real handy...

yes, I did see the notes in the docs that mention
that almost all the reports only show data on
successful hits, and that analog isn't real useful
for failure analysis... sigh.

You did? That's not in my copy of the documentation!

here are the quotes I was referring to:

http://analog.cx/docs/defns.html

"Most reports only include successful requests in calculating
the number of requests, requests for pages, bytes, and last date:
unless, of course, the report is a redirection or failure report."

http://analog.cx/docs/faq.html#faq139

# Why doesn't analog agree with grepping the logfile?
"Have you understood what analog includes in its counts? In
particular, most reports only list "successful" requests
(HTTP status codes 200-209 & 304). A naïve grep would count
failures too."

Analog differentiates between successful and unsuccessful requests, so the number of requests or pages counted in the Request Report or the Host Report etc are successful requests. To see the number of failed attempts to access a particular file you look in the Failure Report, or to see the number of failed request from a particluar host, see the Host Failure report, etc.

Differentiating between successful and unsuccessful requests makes Analog better at failure analysis, not worse.
