Specifying the URL of the Site Being Analyzed

You need to tell NetTracker the URL of the site you want to analyze.

Note: The URL cannot include a path. If you would like the profile to only include certain pages at the URL, set the Included Pages option. (For details, see "Including Only Certain Pages".)

To specify the URL of the site being analyzed:
  1. Click the Options tab. The General page appears.
  2. In the URL of the site being analyzed box, enter the URL for the site you want to analyze. If your Web server profile log files contain data about more than one site and you have selected the Only process traffic to the configured site check box, ensure that the URL (after the http://) is an exact match of how your site name is being recorded in your log files. (For details, see "Processing Only Traffic to the Configured Site" and "Determining How Your Site Name Is Recorded".)
  3. Click Save Options.

Determining How Your Site Name Is Recorded

If your Web server profile log files contain data about more than one site and you have selected the Only process traffic to the configured site check box, ensure that the URL (after the http://) that you enter in the URL of the site being analyzed box is an exact match of how your site name is being recorded in your log files.

To ensure that the URL you enter exactly matches the one in your log files, you will need to open one of your log files in a text editor. Enter the site name exactly as it appears. (Where the site name appears will depend on your log file format. In an NCSA log file, the site name will appear in the second column. Netscape and W3C log files have column headings to help you find the correct column. In a W3C file, the correct column will probably be cs-host.)
