There are two ways to exclude stats :
- First is under the package control and is based on status code. Server and client error are
not counted because they do not reflect a real web activity. Redirect are also rejected (status
code 300+) because these are redirection and cache activity. Other tools may use the 304 status
code (proxy) but this is not a real user request to your server, the proxy just ask if the document
is uptodate or not. Using your browser 'reload' button is a easy way to increase this number and so
should not be taken into account.
Check the script section to see other status code and help associated.
- Second and last way to reject stats is from your personnal configuration. You may want to exclude
some hosts and/or pages from your stats. Also spiders can be excluded if you need it as this is not real
users.

Meaning |
Redirect |
302 |
Moved Temporarily |
This code is a temporary redirect to a new location.
Apparently, many user agents always issue GET requests for
the new URI, regardless of the original request method.
|
304 |
Not Modified |
This code is used when the client makes a conditional
GET request (e.g. If-modified-since)
and the resource has not changed ... so the document requested is not sent
from the server but from the proxy.
|
Client error |
403 |
Forbidden |
This code indicates that the resource cannot be
accessed, regardless of any authentication credentials.
For example, this happens if a directory or file is
unreadable due to file permissions.
|
404 |
Not Found |
This code indicates that the requested resource does not
exist on the server. It may also be used in place of 403
if the server doesn't want to acknowledge that the
resource exists, but cannot be accessed.
