Configuring Web Log File Import Properties
You can configure five sets of properties to control and customize the data you import into the Data Warehouse from your Web log files. The settings that you select for these properties can improve your analysis of the data, as well as make your import processes faster and your Data Warehouse more manageable.
Note
- Unless specified otherwise, these settings apply to all of the applications in the site.
The following properties control what data is imported from your Web log files into the Data Warehouse:
Default Files. Ensure that the hit counts for unique visitors to your site default page are accurate, allowing for redirects and multiple versions of your URL.
Excludes. Prevent the following data from being imported in the Data Warehouse: hits from certain hosts, requests for specific file types or expressions, and hits by crawlers.
Inferences. Customize the assumptions made during import about users and visits in order to best meet the analysis needs of your organization.
Log Files. Customize the response to time overlaps in log files.
Query Strings. Import Web site query strings, so that the data associated with them can be analyzed.
