# %syslog Syslog-specific time and host stamp with format: Mon dd hh:mm:ss hostname
# %virtualname Web sever virtual hostname. Use this tag when same log
# file contains data of several virtual web servers. The
# SiteDomain will be used to filter the one you want.
# If your log format has some fields not included in this list, use
# %other Means another field
#
# Examples for Apache combined logs (following two examples are equivalent):
# LogFormat = 1
# LogFormat = "%host %other %logname %time1 %methodurl %code %bytesd %refererquot %uaquot"
#
# Examples for IIS (following two examples are equivalent):
# LogFormat = 2
# LogFormat = "%time2 %host %logname %method %url %code %bytesd %other %ua %referer"
#
LogFormat=1

LogSeparator
Version : 5.0 +
# If your log field's separator is not a space, you can change this parameter.
# This parameter is not used if LogFormat is a predefined value (1,2,3,4,5,6)
# Example: " "
# Example: "\t"
# Example: "|"
# Default: " "
#

DNSLookup
Version : 1.0 + (5.0 + for value 2)
# If you want to have hosts reported by name instead of ip address, AWStats
# need to make reverse DNS lookups (if not already done in your log file).
# With DNSLookup to 0, all hosts will be reported by their IP addresses and
# not by the full hostname of visitors.
# If you want to set DNSLookup to 1, don't forget that this will reduce
# dramatically AWStats update process speed. Do not use on large web sites.
# Note: Country detection can works without reverse DNS lookup if plugin
# 'geoip' is enabled (faster and more accurate than reverse DNS lookup).
# Possible values:
# 0 - No DNS Lookup
# 1 - DNS Lookup is fully enabled
# 2 - DNS Lookup is made only from DNS cache files (if exist)
# Default: 2
#
DNSLookup=2

DirData
Version : 1.0 +
# When AWStats updates its statistics, it stores results of its analysis in
# files (AWStats database). All those files are written in the directory
# defined by the "DirData" parameter. Set this value to the directory where
# you want AWStats to save its database and working files into.
# Warning: If you want to be able to use the "AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser"
# feature (see later), you need write permissions by webserver user on this
# directory.
# Example: "/var/cache/awstats"
# Example: "../data"
# Example: "C:/awstats_data_dir"
# Default: "." (means same directory as awstats.pl)
#
DirData="."

DirCgi
Version : 1.0 +
# Relative or absolute web URL of your awstats.pl directory.
# This parameter is used only when AWStats is ran from command line
# with -output option (to generate links in HTML reported page).
# Default: "/cgi-bin" (means awstats.pl is in "/mywwwroot/cgi-bin")
#
DirCgi="/cgi-bin"

DirIcons
Version : 1.0 +
# If AWStats used as a CGI, enter relative or absolute web URL of all icons
# subdirectories.
# If you build static reports ("... -output > outputpath/output.html"), enter
# path of icon directory relative to the directory outputpath.
# Example: "/icon"
# Example: "../icon"
# Default: "/icon" (means you must copy icon directories in "/mywwwroot/icon")
#
DirIcons="/icon"

SiteDomain
Version : 3.2 +
# "SiteDomain" must contain the main domain name or the main intranet web
# server name used to reach the web site.
# If you share the same log file for several virtual web servers, this
# parameter is used to tell AWStats to filter record that contains records for
# this virtual host name only (So check that this virtual hostname can be
# found in your log file and use a personalized log format that include the
# %virtualname tag).
# But for multi hosting a better solution is to have one log file for each
# virtual web server. In this case, this parameter is only used to generate
# full URL's links when ShowLinksOnUrl option is set to 1.
# Example: "www.mysite.com"
# Example: "user.mydomain.com"
# Example: "myintranetserver"
#
SiteDomain=""

HostAliases
Version : 1.0 +
# Enter here all other possible domain names, addresses or virtual host
# aliases someone can use to access your site. Try to keep only the minimum
# number of possible names/adresses to have the best performances.
# You can repeat the "SiteDomain" value in this list.
# Use space between each value and put a backslash before each dot.
# This parameter is used to analyze referer field in log file and to help
# AWStats to know if a referer URL is a local URL of same site or an URL of
# another site.
# Example: "www.myserver.com x.y.z.w localhost 127.0.0.1"
#
HostAliases="www.myserver.com x.y.z.w localhost 127.0.0.1"

AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser
Version : 3.0 +
# When this parameter is set to 1, AWStats add a button on report page to
# allow to "update" statistics from a web browser. Warning, when "update" is
# made from a browser, AWStats is ran as a CGI by the web server user
# defined in your web server (user "nobody" by default with Apache, "IUSR_XXX"
# with IIS), so the "DirData" directory and all already existing history files
# (awstatsMMYYYY[.xxx].txt) must be writable by this user. Change permissions
# if required.
# Warning: Update process can be long so you might experience "time out"
# browser errors if you don't launch AWStats enough frequently.
# When set to 0, update is only made when AWStats is ran from the command
# line interface (or a task scheduler).
# Possible values: 0 or 1
# Default: 0
#
AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=0

EnableLockForUpdate
Version : 5.0 +
# When the update process run, AWStats can set a lock file in TEMP or TMP
# directory. This lock is to avoid to have 2 update processes running at the
# same time to prevent unknown conflicts problems and avoid DoS attacks when
# AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser is set to 1.
# Because, when you use lock file, you can experience sometimes problems in
# lock file not correctly removed (when process is killed for example, this
# requires that you remove the file manualy), this option is not enabled by
# default (Do not enable this option with no consol server access).
# Possible values: 0 or 1
# Default: 0
#
EnableLockForUpdate=0

DNSStaticCacheFile
Version : 5.0 +
# AWStats can do reverse DNS lookups through a static DNS cache file that was
# previously created manually. If no path is given in static DNS cache file
# name, AWStats will search DirData directory. This file is never changed.
# This option is not used if DNSLookup=0.
# Note: DNS cache file format is 'minsince1970 ipaddress resolved_hostname'
# or just 'ipaddress resolved_hostname'
# Example: "/mydnscachedir/dnscache"
# Default: "dnscache.txt"
#
DNSStaticCacheFile="dnscache.txt"

DNSLastUpdateCacheFile
Version : 5.0 +
# AWStats can do reverse DNS lookups through a DNS cache file that was created
# by a previous run of AWStats. This file is erased and recreated after each
# statistics update process. You don't need to create and/or edit it.
# AWStats will read and save this file in DirData directory.
# This option is not used if DNSLookup=0.
# Example: "/mydnscachedir/dnscachelastupdate"
# Default: "dnscachelastupdate.txt"
#
DNSLastUpdateCacheFile="dnscachelastupdate.txt"

SkipDNSLookupFor
Version : 3.0 +
# You can specify specific IP addresses that should NOT be looked up in
# the DNS. You may specify partial addresses (ie 163.85. for everything
# behind the usual firewall setup, etc)...
# This option is used only if DNSLookup=1.
# Note: Use space between each value.
# Example: "163.85. 201.101.51.2"
# Default: ""
#
SkipDNSLookupFor=""

AllowAccessFromWebToAuthenticatedUsersOnly
Version : 4.0 +
# The following two parameters allow you to protect a config file to be used
# by your AWStats program called from a browser only if web user has been
# authenticated. Your AWStats program must be in a web protected "realm" (With
# Apache, you can use .htaccess files to do so. With other web servers, see
# your server setup manual).
# Possible values: 0 or 1
# Default: 0
#
AllowAccessFromWebToAuthenticatedUsersOnly=0

AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers
Version : 4.0 +
# This parameter gives the list of all authorized authenticated users to view
# statistics for this domain/config file. This parameter is used only if
# AllowAccessToAuthenticatedUsersOnly is set to 1.
# Example: "user1 user2"
# Default: ""
#
AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers=""

AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingIPAddresses
Version : 5.0 +
# When this parameter is define to something, the IP address of the user that
# read its statistics from a browser (when AWStats is used as a CGI) is
# checked and must match the IP address range defined by this parameter.
# Example: "123.123.123.10-123.123.123.255"
# Default: ""
#
AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingIPAddresses=""

CreateDirDataIfNotExists
Version : 4.0 +
# If the "DirData" directory (see above) does not exists, AWStats return an
# error. However, you can ask AWStats to create it. This option can be used by
# some Web Hosting Providers that has defined a dynamic value for DirData (for
# example DirData="/home/__REMOTE_USER__").
# Possible values: 0 or 1
# Default: 0
#
CreateDirDataIfNotExists=1

SaveDatabaseFilesWithPermissionsForEveryone
Version : 4.0 +
# In most case, AWStats is used as a cgi program. So AWStats process is ran
# by default web server user (nobody for Unix, IUSR_xxx for IIS/Windows,...).
# To make use easier and avoid permission problems between update process
# (run by an admin user) and CGI process (ran by a low level user), AWStats
# save its database files with read and write for everyone.
# If you have experience on managing security policies (Web Hosting Provider),
# you should set this parameter to 0. AWStats will keep default process user
# permissions on its files.
# Possible values: 0 or 1
# Default: 1
#
SaveDatabaseFilesWithPermissionsForEveryone=1

PurgeLogFile
Version : 2.23 +
# AWStats can purge log after processing it. By this way, the next time you
# launch AWStats, log file will be smaller and processing time will be better.
# IMPORTANT !!!
# AWStats is able to detect new lines in log file, to process only them, so
# you can launch AWStats as soon as you want, even with this parameter to 0.
# With 0, no purge is made, so you must use a scheduled task or a web server
# that make this purge frequently.
# With 1, the purge of the log file is made each time AWStats is ran.
# This parameter doesn't work with IIS (This web server doesn't let its log
# file to be purged).
# Possible values: 0 or 1
# Default: 0
#
PurgeLogFile=0

ArchiveLogRecords
Version : 2.1 +
# When PurgeLogFile is setup to 1, AWStats will clean your log file after
# processing it. You can however keep an archive file (saved in "DirData") of
# all processed log records by setting this to 1 (For example if you want to
# use another log analyzer).
# This parameter is not used if PurgeLogFile=0
# Possible values: 0 or 1
# Default: 0
#
ArchiveLogRecords=0

KeepBackupOfHistoricFiles
Version : 3.2 +
# Each time you run the update process, AWStats overwrite the 'historic file'
# for the month (awstatsMMYYYY[.*].txt) with the updated one.
# When write errors occurs (IO, disk full,...), this historic file can be
# corrupted and must be deleted. Because this file contains information of all
# past processed log files, you will loose old stats if removed. So you can
# ask AWStats to save last non corrupted file in a .bak file. This file is
# stored in "DirData" directory with other 'historic files'.
# Possible values: 0 or 1
# Default: 0
#
KeepBackupOfHistoricFiles=0

DefaultFile
Version : 1.0 + (5.0 + can accept several values)
# Default index page name for your web server.
# Example: "default.htm default.html"
# Default: "index.html"
#
DefaultFile="index.html"

SkipHosts
Version : 1.0 +
# Do not include access from clients that match following criteria.
# If your log file contains IP adresses in host field, you must enter here
# matching IP adresses criteria.
# If DNS lookup is already done in your log file, you must enter here hostname
# criteria, else enter ip address criteria.
# The opposite parameter of "SkipHosts" is "OnlyHosts".
# Note: Use space between each value.
# Note: ^xxx means hosts starting with xxx.
# Note: xxx$ means hosts ending with xxx.
# Example: "^127.0.0.1$ ^163.84."
# Example: "localhost abcxyz"
# Default: ""
#
SkipHosts=""

SkipUserAgents
Version : 5.1 +
# Do not include access from clients with a user agent that match following
# criteria. If you want to exclude a robot, you should update the robots.pm
# file instead of this parameter.
# Note: Use space between each value. This parameter is not case sensitive.
# Example: "konqueror"
# Default: ""
#
SkipUserAgents=""

SkipFiles
Version : 1.0 +
# Use SkipFiles to ignore access to URLs that match one of following entries.
# You can, with this option, add a list of not important frame pages (like
# menus, etc...) to exclude them from statistics.
# For example, to ignore a whole directory tree, just add "directorytoignore",
# to ignore "users" pages in your stats, you can add "/~".
# The opposite parameter of "SkipFiles" is "OnlyFiles".
# Note: This parameter is not case sensitive.
# Note: Use space between each value and do not remove default values.
# Note: ^xxx means url starting with xxx.
# Note: xxx$ means url ending with xxx.
# Example: "robots.txt$ favicon.ico$ badpage.html /~"
# Default: "robots.txt$ favicon.ico$"
#
SkipFiles="robots.txt$ favicon.ico$"

OnlyHosts
Version : 5.2 +

# entries. For example, if you want AWStats to filter access to keep only
# stats for visits from particular hosts, you can add thoose hosts names
# in this parameter.
# If DNS lookup is already done in your log file, you must enter here hostname
# criteria, else enter ip address criteria.
# The opposite parameter of "OnlyHosts" is "SkipHosts".
# Note: This parameter is not case sensitive.
# Note: Use space between each value.
# Note: ^xxx means hosts starting with xxx.
# Note: xxx$ means hosts ending with xxx.
# Example: "^123.123.123.123$ ^10.0."
# Default: ""
#
OnlyHosts=""

OnlyFiles
Version : 3.0 +
# Include in stats, only accesses to URLs that match one of following entries.
# For example, if you want AWStats to filter access to keep only stats that
# match a particular string, like a particular directory, you can add this
# directory name in this parameter.
# The opposite parameter of "OnlyFiles" is "SkipFiles".
# Note: This parameter is not case sensitive.
# Note: Use space between each value and do not remove default values
# Note: ^xxx means url starting with xxx.
# Note: xxx$ means url ending with xxx.
# Example: "marketing_directory"
# Default: ""
#
OnlyFiles=""

NotPageList
Version : 3.2 +
# Add here a list of kind of url (file extension) that must be counted as
# "Hit only" and not as a "Hit" and "Page/Download". You can set here all
# images extensions as they are hit downloaded that must be counted but they
# are not viewed pages. URLs with such extensions are not included in the TOP
# Pages/URL report.
# Note: If you want to exclude your own URLs from stats (No Pages and no Hits
# reported), you should use SkipFiles parameter instead.
# Example: ""
# Example: "css js class gif jpg jpeg png bmp zip arj gz z wav mp3 wma mpg"
# Default: "css js class gif jpg jpeg png bmp"
#
NotPageList="css js class gif jpg jpeg png bmp"

ValidHTTPCodes

# Keep or remove the query string to the URL in the statistics for individual
# pages. This is primarily used to differentiate between the URLs of dynamic
# pages. If set to 1, mypage.html?id=x and mypage.html?id=y are counted as two
# different pages.
# Warning, when set to 1, memory required to run AWStats is dramatically
# increased if you have a lot of changing URLs (for example URLs with a random
# id inside). Such web sites should not set this option to 1 or use seriously
# the next parameter URLWithQueryWithoutFollowingParameters.
# Possible values:
# 0 - URLs are cleaned from the query string (ie: "/mypage.html")
# 1 - Full URL with query string is used (ie: "/mypage.html?p=x&q=y")
# Default: 0
#
URLWithQuery=0

URLWithQueryWithoutFollowingParameters
Version : 5.1 +
# When URLWithQuery is on, you will get the full URL with all parameters in
# URL reports. But among thoose parameters, sometimes you don't need a
# particular parameter because it does not identify the page or because it's
# a random ID changing for each access even if URL points to same page. In
# such cases, it is higly recommanded to ask AWStats to remove such parameters
# from the URL before counting, manipulating and storing it. Enter here list
# of all non wanted parameters. For example if you enter "id", one hit on
# /mypage.cgi?p=abc&id=Yo4UomP9d and /mypage.cgi?p=abc&id=Mu8fdxl3r
# will be reported as 2 hits on /mypage.cgi?p=abc
# This parameter is not used when URLWithQuery is 0.
# Example: "PHPSESSID jsessionid"
# Default: ""
#
URLWithQueryWithoutFollowingParameters=""

URLReferrerWithQuery
Version : 5.1 +
# Keep or remove the query string to the referrer URL in the statistics for
# external referrer pages. This is used to differentiate between the URLs of
# dynamic referrer pages. If set to 1, mypage.html?id=x and mypage.html?id=y
# are counted as two different referrer pages.
# Possible values:
# 0 - Referrer URLs are cleaned from the query string (ie: "/mypage.html")

# Default: 0

# different chart. For several charts, duplicate section changing the number.
# Note that each Extra section reduces AWStats speed by 10%.
#
# WARNING: A wrong setup of Extra section can result in a too large arrays
# that will consume all your memory, making AWStats unusable after several
# updates, so be sure to setup it correctly.
# In most cases, you don't need this feature.

# ExtraSectionFirstColumnValuesX is a Regex string to tell AWStats how to
# extract the value used for first column. Each different value found will
# be a different row. Be sure that list of different values is "limited" to
# avoid "not enough memory" problems !
# ExtraSectionStatTypesX are things you want to count. You can use standard
# code letters (P for pages,H for hits,B for bandwidth,L for last access).
