Webstats: How Do I View All Visits Except Mine?

[haejin]

Hi everyone -

 

[my apologies if this isn't the right forum area for this question]

 

I'm a 2-day old TCH newbie! Rock Sign A quick question about the webstats function in cPanel....

 

Is there any way that I can get the stats to show all visitors except for me? For example, I visit my webpage from two computers at home and also from work. I don't want my own visits to be included in the webstats. Is there any way I can exclude myself from the webstats reports?

 

I have used Sitemeter.com in the past, and there's a check box titled "exlude my visits." I'm looking for the same function in cPanel. I'm pretty new to webhosting and blogging, so I'm looking for an easy, straightforward solution. Basically, I don't want to accidentally break anything in my account!

 

Thank you!!

You need to add a line to your awstats.conf file. You can ignore a whole ip range or a single ip address.

 

Unless your isp has assigned you a unique ip address, it changes every time you log on and off the internet. It's more trouble than it's worth, you would block your entire ISP or most of it.

 

From AWStats;

 

You must edit the config file to change the SkipHosts parameter.

For example, to exclude:

 

your own IP address 123.123.123.123, use SkipHosts="123.123.123.123"

 

the whole subnet 123.123.123.xxx, use SkipHosts="REGEX[^123\.123\.123\.]"

 

all sub hosts xxx.myintranet.com, use SkipHosts="REGEX[\.myintranet\.com$]" (This one works only if DNS lookup is already done in your log file).

 

And again, Lisa beats me to it.

I took the easy route....
