Filter Wizard - Requested File

The file filter can be used to include or exclude data based on the requested file. Files should always have a forward slash at the beginning and should be relative to the root directory of the web site. For example, to specify the file ‘http://www.domain.com/dir/file.html’, type ‘/dir/file.html’.

You can use wildcards in the file or directory name. Click here for information on using wildcards.

Note: the file filter is case sensitive by default (i.e. ‘/dir/file.html’ is different from ‘/DIR/FILE.HTML’). You can force all requested filenames to lowercase with a global option.

Here are some examples of the file filter:

Zero in on the performance of a specific file or directory. Specify a filter for a file or directory and include or exclude that data from your report. For example, some areas of your site may “drown out” less popular areas. Include only the less popular areas and analyze them.

Exclude toolbar buttons from the analysis. Certain files, including toolbar buttons, may be requested disproportionately more than other files and may, again, “drown out” the other files. You can exclude these files from the analysis.
