[analog-help] overriding host exclusions
In my general analog.cfg file, I have HOSTEXCLUDE 216.15.98.38 This is so I can exclude traffic from a particular host I do development on. However, I'd like to do a raw traffic report that includes everything, so I read in a second config file to turn this exclusion off. But I can't get it to take. I've tried: HOSTINCLUDE * I've even put it in analog.cfg immediately following the HOSTEXCLUDE command, but these hosts are still being excluded - what am I doing wrong? thanks + | This is the analog-help mailing list.

Re: [analog-help] overriding host exclusions
Read the documentation for inclusions and exclusions (http://analog.sourceforge.net/docs/include.html is one of the mirror sites). Remember, that the analog.cfg is parsed before other configuration files. By excluding a host in analog.cfg, it cannot be included in another configuration file. What to do? One suggestion is to delete all HOST??CLUDE statements in analog.cfg and insert a HOSTEXCLUDE statement in another configuration file. Run analog with the analog.cfg file when all hosts are desired and run the alternate file when exclusions are desired. Another suggestion is to comment the HOSTEXCLUDE statement in the analog.cfg file when all hosts are desired (this has the benefit of only one configuration file, but it has the disadvantage of checking whether the line is commented before beginning). -- Duke Hillard Phil Glatz wrote: In my general analog.cfg file, I have HOSTEXCLUDE 216.15.98.38 This is so I can exclude traffic from a particular host I do development on.

Re: [analog-help] overriding host exclusions
The key is that it is an item by item process. HOSTEXCLUDE 216.15.98.38 is one item. HOSTINCLUDE * is another item. Placing HOSTINCLUDE 216.15.98.38 in your extra configuration file might do the trick as that would be a second reference to the same item. I pointed to that particular page in the documentation because I like the example that is used. My first time out with includes and excludes would have been a mess if not for that example. -- Duke Phil Glatz wrote: At 04:17 PM 07/16/2001 -0500, Duke wrote: Remember, that the analog.cfg is parsed before other configuration files.
