Removing IP address from Awstats statistics

Why?

To remove certain IP addresses from the overall site statistics in Awstats.

Instructions

In the configuration file /etc/awstats/awstats.<site-name>.conf, add a SkipHosts directive specifying IP addresses that will not be counted in the statistics, separating them with a space.

Example of using the directive:

SkipHosts=”192.168.1.1 172.31.55.65”

It is also acceptable to use regular expressions. Regular expressions must be specified in square brackets after the REGEX parameter, for example:

SkipHosts=”REGEX[<regular-expression>]”
