The use trend of the Web site for outside the company may be analyzed. In this case, however, because access from in-house for maintenance is also recorded in the Web server log, you would like to exclude such accesses to analyze the usage trend from the standpoint of general users.
This section explains how to analyze with specific internal subnetworks (IP address groups) excluded.
By analysis excluding accesses from the specific subnetworks, you can grasp the following information and utilize it for the Web site operation.
How many times do general users access?
Which content do general users often visit to?
The following environment setting is required to make analysis excluding specific subnetworks.
Setting for option definition file
Define the subnetworks that you want to exclude from the analysis targets in the specific subnetwork analysis exclusion definition block in the option definition file.
See
For information about the storage location of the Option Definition File refer to "15.2.3.1 File storage location".
The following gives an example of analysis excluding the following subnetworks.
Exclusion target subnetwork range |
|---|
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255 |
192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.255 |
In the above case,the definition of the specific subnetwork analysis exclusion definition block in the option definition file is as follows:
[SubnetExcepted] 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255 192.168.2.1-192.168.2.255 |
Note
The contents that are specified in the specific subnetwork analysis exclusion definition block in the option definition file become valid when the use trend DB registration engine is started next.
Out of these contents, the information that has already been registered in the use trend DB does not become valid.
See
For details about the settings, refer to "15.2.3.4 File internal format (definition block with analysis of a specific subnetwork omitted)".
The specification in the specific-subnetwork analysis exclusion definition block is processed by the usage DB register engine. So the analysis result before the definition is made remains the same as this function is not used.
Analysis using the use trend analysis window excludes access from the subnetworks that are specified in the specific subnetwork analysis exclusion definition block in the option definition file.
Note
Out of the contents that are specified in the specific subnetwork analysis exclusion definition block in the option definition file, the information that has already been registered in the use trend DB does not become valid.
Therefore, if a period that extends to before the definition setting is selected, access from the subnetworks that are specified in the specific subnetwork analysis exclusion definition block is included for analysis.
