Help for Log Suppression

Use this form to define host names and IP addresses for which you do not want to log access information.


Suppression List

You can create or modify a list of templates defining the host names and IP addresses for which you do not want to log access information. The server will not log any requests coming from an address or host name that matches one of the templates.

To insert a new host name or IP address template:

  1. Select either the Insert before or Insert after button.
  2. Select an Index number.

    Your choices in steps 1 and 2 indicate the position you want the new template to have in the list. For example, if you select Insert before and Index 2, the new template will be second in the list. If you select Insert after and Index 4, the new template will be fifth in the list.

  3. Enter a new template in the Host name/IP address field. Templates can use the asterisk (*) wildcard character.

    Examples of host name templates:
    localhost.*
    *.rtp.com
    *.*.edu
    Example of IP address templates:
    128.141.*.*

  4. If you want to use the changes you make to the form, select the Apply button. If you want to go back to the values that were on the form before you made changes, select the Reset button.

To replace a host name or IP address template:
