Enabling Case-Sensitivity for Pages

You can determine whether or not NetTracker considers uppercase and lowercase characters to be distinct in pages. If you enable case-sensitivity, uppercase and lowercase characters will be considered to be different characters. If you do not enable case-sensitivity, they will be considered the same character.

Note: If case-sensitivity is not enabled, NetTracker will import pages in all lowercase characters. This will affect the use of regular expressions and filters. (For details on regular expressions, see "Using Regular Expressions with NetTracker". For details on filters, see "Understanding Case-Sensitivity and Filters".)

In most cases, if your log files come from a UNIX system, you should enable case-sensitivity. In most cases, if your log files come from a Windows system, you should not enable case-sensitivity. This is how NetTracker is configured by default.

To enable case-sensitivity:
  1. Click the Options tab. The General page appears.
  2. Select the Case sensitive pages check box.
  3. Click Save Options.
  4. Case-sensitivity will be enabled for all data you import for this profile from now on. If this is what you want, click Continue. If you want case-sensitivity for data you have already imported, you will need to delete all the data in your profile and reimport your log files. (Note: If you do not still have all the log files you have imported into this profile, you will lose data permanently by choosing this option.) To delete your profile data, click Delete Profile Data.
