Excluding Hosts
You can prevent traffic from certain hosts from being included in the NetTracker reports. For example, you could exclude your company’s computers from the reports to get an accurate analysis of who is visiting the site from outside your company.
Note: Statistics for excluded hosts are not counted as views, but they are still counted as hits. The number of hits appears on the Executive Dashboard and the Traffic Summary.
To exclude a host:
- Click the Options tab.
- In the left-hand panel, click Excluded Hosts under Filters.
- Click Add.
- Enter a filter that describes the host you want to exclude and click Add. (For details on filters, see "Filtering a NetTracker Option".)
- The statistics for this host will be excluded from all new log file data you import from now on. If this is what you want or if you have additional hosts to enter at this time, click Continue. If you want to exclude this host from 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.
You can make changes to the excluded hosts at the list of excluded hosts.
