File parameters

File parameters limit resulting statistics by files, queries, status, bandwidth and path. This parameter page is also used by the Goals editor.

Same hit match

If this checkbox is checked, Wildcards, Query, Status and Bandwidth filters must all match a single hit. If you leave this option unchecked, filters will be matched to any hit in the session.

Example:

Wildcard = /page1.html

Query = GoogleAdword

Session1: /page1.html

/page2.html?GoogleAdword

Session2: /page1.html?GoogleAdword

/page2.html

If Same hit match is checked, only Session2 will be included in stats, because both constraints are fulfilled in the first hit.

If not checked, both sessions will be included in stats, because both constraints are fulfilled in different hits.

File wildcards

Enter file names or file wildcards to limit statistics. You can separate them by comma or semicolon and use operators (see examples).

Examples:

/page1.html

Session must contain hit to /page1.html file

*.pdf

Session must contain any of *.pdf files

+/page1.html, +/page2.html, -/dir/*

To qualify, session most contain both, /page1.html and /page2.html files, and mustn't contain any file from /dir/ directory

/page1.html, /page2.html, -/dir/*

Without "+" signs, session must contain at least one of two specified files, and still mustn't contain any file from /dir/ directory

-*.gif|spec*.gif

Excludes all sessions that accessed any of *.gif files, except spec*.gif

*.gif|spec*.gif

Includes only sessions that accessed any of *.gif files, except spec*.gif. Same effect can be accomplished with "*.gif, -spec*.gif"

Queries

Enter query text or wildcards to limit report results to whole or part of the queries.

Example:

*version=1.0*, *version=1.1*

Status

Limit results to specified status. Wildcards and operators are not supported here.

Examples:

200

404

Path

Limit results to sessions with specified page sequence. Syntax is similar to File wildcards, except it doesn't support operators, and delimited values are handled differently (as a sequence).

Examples:

/index.html, /dir/*, *

To qualify, session must start with /index.html, then directly access any file from /dir/ directory. The rest of the hits don't affect results.

/index.html, *, /dir/*

Note the difference in sequence ("*" is moved between other two parts). Here, session must start with /index.html and exit from any files from /dir/ directory. What happens in between doesn't matter.

*, /index.html

Session must exit from /index.html page. What happens before doesn't matter.
