By default, all hits in the database will be graphed. Use these filters to restrict graphs to recent hits, critical files, or both.

    Graph only hits since my last visit on November 20, 2024
    Graph only hits from yesterday and today, or specify:

Start Date (mm-dd-year)
End Date (mm-dd-year)
Filter String

The filter string may contain a file name, server name, or browser type. If this field is used, only log entries which pattern match to this string will be analyzed.

Graphics Output:

	Sort data numerically, with most hits on top
		By default, graphs are alphabetically sorted by key
	Follow links by opening a separate window
	Highlight the percentage column in graphs
	Compress web addresses that include query strings
		http://www.xav.com/links.cgi?foo=bar becomes http://www.xav.com/links.cgi
	Compress web addresses that include the default document, index.html
		http://www.xav.com/index.html becomes http://www.xav.com/

Set the maximum width of graphs to pixels.

Set the maximum displayed characters in data strings to .

The URL to the folder containing the "red.gif" and "tracker.jpg" images:
You can use http://www.xav.com/images/ if you want. There is no guarantee that the images will always be hosted there, so it is best if you can host the images on your own server.

Local web pages will be any web pages which contain this substring in their URL:

Warnings Display:

The "uri_warning" will be activated whenever the DOCUMENT_URI environment variable is populated for CGI requests. For more information, see this help file.

	Show warning at the top of the main page.
	Do not show warning.

Webmaster Logging

Currently, you do not have an "axs_no_log" cookie. Your visits probably are being logged.

To log your own visits, click on Log My Visits

To not log your own visits, click Do Not Log My Visits

This feature requires that you have cookies enabled. Selecting Do Not Log My Visits will set a cookie to your browser that tells the ax.pl script to not log your visits. You will need to do this for each browser you use, and you will need to repeat this process every time you delete cookies.

See this help file for more information about not tracking your own visits, including alternative techniques.

Log Management:

By default, all entries will be deleted. You may choose to delete only hits older than a certain date:  (mm-dd-year)

The access log will grow by about a kilobyte for every six hits, eventually becoming too large for processing (it's currently at 63 kb - that is not too bad). We recommend deleting the log every so often. Before doing so, you'll want to generate your favorite graphs and save them to your system as HTML files, as a record of how your site traffic evolves over time.
