How does the import filter work? (1 reply)

Hi!

I imported a logfile in Piwik. Though I know that AWStats and Piwik generate different numbers, I still don't know how Piwik filters the imported data from the logfile, here is an example:

Logs import summary
-------------------

    243847 requests imported successfully
    659002 requests were downloads
    1817102 requests ignored:
        43592 HTTP errors
        992469 HTTP redirects
        142 invalid log lines
        0 requests did not match any known site
        0 requests did not match any --hostname
        765275 requests done by bots, search engines...
        15624 requests to static resources (css, js, images, ico, ttf...)
        0 requests to file downloads did not match any --download-extensions

• In AWStats a lot less requests by bots are identified, how does Piwik identify those requests and how are they filtered?
• Downloads with status code 206 (partial download) seem to be filtered out completely in Piwik, so even if a user downloads a complete file in multiple parts, this won't show up as a complete download?
• I don't understand the ignored HTTP requests? Which logfile entries are ignored here?

Help is very much appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
