| Filtering By File* |

| Managing Filters |
Use the File filter to include or exclude specific files or file types from the report. The default for an include File filter is to include all files, indicated by "*.*" in the field. There is no default for an exclude File filter.
Files
Select the extension for the type of file that you wish to filter for, or type a filename or file extension in the text box below the drop-down list. Use wildcards to specify file names or extensions, such as all gif files (*.gif). Separate multiple file or file type entries with a space.
Also Include\Exclude Requests Without Filenames
Select this check box if you wish to include/exclude activity in which no filename or file extension is specified. For example, if a visitor to your site enters the URL www.mydomain.com in his or her browser, the web server may log this hit with no filename (http://www.mydomain.com), but return the file http://www.mydomain.com/default.htm. If your file filter element is the default value (*.* for include, blank for exclude) this option has no effect. If you are not sure, leave the box unchecked.
Case Sensitive Match
Select this check box if you wish to look for records with exact case matches (upper or lower case).

| Example | Result |
