Notes


Introduction

The Customized Logs mod splits the search engine bots from the normal TNG user access into two separate logs, one for normal access and one for bots. This TNG modification will also change the way site accesses are logged.

  • It will include additional information indicating where the access was linked from (the referrer info) if you change the option
  • It will split the log into two files: one for browsers and one for crawlers
  • It will enhance the filter options available through the Admin->Setup->Log Settings. Filtering based upon Host IP Address and logged in User Descriptions will be added to the existing filter on Host Name.

The mod has an option to show the referrer information in the access log. The default install option is to not show the referrer, which will cause the log to appear the same as the original TNG log. You can change the option to include the referrer using the Mod Manager Edit capability.
