1. "RE: filtering out domains"
In response to message #0

Hi- Fairly easy to only parse the "domain" you want out of the log files assuming there's something in the log file that identifies what the domain is or by an IP address. There's what we call "log filters" in the config section of a profile. These log filters provide a very easy way to exclude or include info into a Sawmill database. The basic process would be--> Download your log files somewhere local.
Install Sawmill & quickly configure the trial.
Create a profile using the Sawmill's profile creation wizard and point Sawmill to the directory where the logs have been stored.
Complete the profile creation wizard by clicking on the "view config" step at the end vs. "process and view reports"
Click on the log filter tab.
Create a new log filter and set up a condition like:
"If my-web-domain.com does not match domain" then action is reject. This is not the action "code" or filter, but you'd basically be setting up a comparison that excludes/rejects lines if they are not lines for your domain based on either the URL, or the domain field and depending upon the actual log data this varies. If you know the format of the log files I can try to point you more specifically to the actual log filter. You can also paste a sample of the log data and we can try to tell you what the condition/comparison would be to reject all but your domain from inclusion in your database. David

I got this back from 1and1. Thank you for contacting us. As we have checked, the format in our Frequently Asked Questions page is correct. These were tested before it was posted in our website and these are indeed correct. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us. --

1&1 Internet I have noticed that 1and1 support is lacking the ability comprehend English, so this is where we are at now.
In the mean time I looked at the language the filters use and it is Greek to me. By that I mean It looks like on has to learn a whole new language to use it. That is not so bad because I will bet you can make this thing sing if you know what you are doing. The problem is that I don't want to learn a new language for filtering, I just don't have the time.
all I want is to start with a few filters and I should be able to figure it out from there, So how much support are we going to get, just starting off with out having to pay for support... ie can you give us the code for my simple simple request, without me learning the code and then reinvent the wheel, again I also asked (but did not receive an answer) if you maintained a file of popular filter request that we could look at and modify for our needs. |
