Maintaining Site Profiles
Creating/editing site profiles are normally tasks performed by a Profile Administrator, but can
also be done by a Server Administrator. To create a new site click the [New Profile] item under
the appropriate profile group on the Profiles tab. Fill in the necessary filters, specify the log
sources (if required) and click the Submit link.
For Log File Sources (Basic tab) specify the location of the log files that should be analyzed for
this particular site profile. See the section on Specifying Log Sources for more information on
log sources.
The Include and Exclude Filters (Filters tab) will determine which hits in log files will be
included or excluded when the specific site profile database is updated. The * character should
be used at the start and end of the filter specification. Spaces should separate multiple entries.
For instance the file like include filter:
*/furniture/* */appliances/*
will let SurfStatsLive only add log entries to the site profiles that contains /furniture/ and
/appliances/ in the filename requested.
The Domain Like include/exclude filter is used to filter on the cs-host field in IIS log files.
