What I do is I "massage" all my log files before passing them to the web analysis software. That way I can exclude certain User Agents (Like HP Openview), other monitoring tools (like Keynote), and other ISP monitoring agents (by IP address). Or you can config your analysis software to exclude those entries.
You want to also keep the original log file too for some initial processing so you can accurately get quantity of traffic to your machines. With all the monitoring we do (and variosu types for diff purposes) - we proabably have 5-20% more requests than we should. Its a lot of overhead - but knowing with 10 minutes that something strange is occuring with your site makes it worth it.

I am running Apache Tomcat 4.0.5 on two servers being loadbalanced by a Cisco CSS. The css polls a page keepalive.htm to determine whether to keep the server in service or out of service on the Virtual IP address of the server farm. How can I exclude logging of this page in the Tomcat logs?thanks, began -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
