more analog changes

Turns out the analog reports, which I use for bandwidth monitoring, weren't actually showing the proper bandwidth usage. I had it set to hide referrers from the site itself, thinking that this merely hid them from the referrer report, but it turns out that analog actually ignores those lines completely.

So I turned these filters off for now, which means that your bandwidth usage stats are now correct, and you'll now see more of your own intra-site traffic on the report.

I'm not sure if this is an improvement or not. What do you think?

analog report config files

Hello!

I don't know about you, but I was getting pretty sick of how long the analog reports were getting. Personally, when I look at my reports, I'm interested in trends, not minute detail. Looking at all those one-request lines was getting on my nerves and making my reports unmanagable.

And if it annoyed me, I'm sure it annoyed some of you.

On the other hand, I started showing those one-line requests because some people wanted them.

Recently, someone asked me to expand ALL of the reports, and that got me thinking. Why not let people make up their own minds?

So now, if you're so inclined, you can configure the reports. Here is the list of configuration defaults. You can override any of these. (However, you can NOT add any other analog configuration directives. If you want to add something you don't see here, let me know.)

To override a default, add create a plain text file called ~/.analog with one directive per line. The first word on the line must match exactly to the list of defaults and there should be no spaces before the word.

You only have to include the directives you want to override.

Lines starting with # will be ignored so you can have comments.

Analog docs are at http://www.analog.cx/docs/Readme.html

Anyway, these are the new defaults:
