Customize AWStats Downloads


This seems ridiculous to me, but AWStats is not configured to count exe or dmg files as downloads. What config file or setting can I change? I tried looking through the documentation but found no mention of anything pertaining to Downloads.

I did find out to add another download section containing my file types here http://antezeta.com/news/awstats, but neither the hits or bandwidth calculations are even close to being correct.


Solution

  • Add an extra section to the end of the awstats.config file. The following example counts *.dmg files:

    ExtraSectionName1="Disk Image Downloads" 
    ExtraSectionCodeFilter1="200 304" 
    ExtraSectionCondition1="URL,\.dmg" 
    ExtraSectionFirstColumnTitle1="File" 
    ExtraSectionFirstColumnValues1="URL,(.*)"
    ExtraSectionFirstColumnFormat1="%s"
    ExtraSectionStatTypes1=HB
    ExtraSectionAddAverageRow1=0
    ExtraSectionAddSumRow1=1
    MaxNbOfExtra1=100
    MinHitExtra1=1
    

    Bandwidth counted is unlikely to match file size times download count. Many downloads will not complete or will be interrupted.
