Adjusting Preferences for Web Statistics Presentation by Webalizer

By default, statistical utility counts and reports the requests for web pages and other files made from your own site – by your web pages. So, when a user's browser requests from your site a single web page that contains references to other files, such as scripts, cascading style sheets, media files, and the like, the statistical utility reports these references to files as if they were visits to your web page. Thus, with the default settings your usage statistics is inaccurate.

You may want to:

• Hide these internal references, and references from other sites.

Viewing Log Files and Configuring Recycling of Log Files

All connections to the Web server and requests for files that were not found on the server are registered in log files. These log files are analyzed by the statistical utilities running on the server, which then present graphical reports on demand. You may want to download these log files to your computer for processing by third-party statistical utilities, or view their contents for web server debugging purposes.

To prevent these log files from growing too large, you should enable automatic cleanup and recycling of log files:

1. Go to Home > Log Manager > Log Rotation and click Switch On in the Tools group.
2. Specify when to recycle log files and how many instances of each log file to store on the server. Also specify whether they should be compressed and sent to an e-mail address after processing.
3. Click OK.

To view the contents of a log file or download it to your computer:

1. Go to Home > Log Manager. A list of log files opens.
2. Do any of the following:

• To specify the number of lines from the end of the log file that you would like to view, type a number into the input box under the Preferencesgroup.
• To view the contents of a log file, click its file name.
• To download a file to your computer, click the icon  corresponding to the file you need.
• To remove a processed log file from the server, select a corresponding check box, click Remove, confirm removal and click OK.
