Add ALL OFF REQUEST ON to your analog.cfg file. (Turn off all the reports, then turn the Request report back on). > how can I exclude all robots and spiders? (I did find information > about ROBOTEXCLUDE but that referenced only the Operating System > Report.) It depends on how you recognize robots and spiders - if your web server is logging the Browser string, then you can use BROWEXCLUDE to exclude the browser strings used by robots and spiders. If you can't recognize them by the browser string they present, then you'd have to exclude them by their IP address (HOSTEXCLUDE). (ROBOTINCLUDE is a way of telling Analog that a particular browser strings is used by a robot/spider - it doesn't directly control any of the reports, and only indirectly affects the OS Report). > how can I sort the files in the "Request Report - listing files with > at least 20 requests) by number of requests? The report says it is > already sorted this way, but the results show otherwise (going down > to 10 and then back up to 11147) The Request report is hierarchical by default - so where there are parameters associated with a request (a form submission, for example) the total number of requests for that form will be listed, and then the figure will be broken down to show what parameters were used to call the form. 12 /cgi-bin/script.pl 8 /cgi-bin/script.pl?x=1&y=2 4 /cgi-bin/script.pl?x=4&y=3 If you don't want this hierarchical display, use the ARGSEXCLUDE directive (eg ARGSEXCLUDE *.pl) http://analog.cx/docs/args.html > I'm very sorry if this is all in the FAQ, I've hunted for a couple of > hours and didn't find anything.

(Reading the documentation is important too!)
