To reach this option in the configuration file editor, follow these steps:

1. Edit Configuration
2. Configure Filters...
3. Ignored Documents...

If you prefer to manually edit your configuration files, use the following syntax for this option:

Example

ignore
#A pattern matching files you do not wish to see in your reports
/personal/*
end ignore

Description

The Ignored Documents ^(ignore) option indicates which documents will be ignored by wusage. Documents that match any of the patterns listed for the Ignored Documents ^(ignore) option will be ignored completely by wusage. Each character of the document name is matched against the pattern. An * in the pattern matches any number of characters in the document name. Patterns have additional features, including support for regular expressions; for more information about patterns, see the Patterns and Regular Expressions section.

In previous releases, this feature was often used to ignore accesses to images. We do not recommend this in 8.0 and above, because the object types feature ensures that these are listed in separate subreports, allowing the statistics for web pages to be seen separately without the need to sacrifice statistics for images.

Note that the Remove These Suffixes ^(suffixes) option is applied first. If the Ignored Documents ^(ignore) option is absent, no documents will be ignored.
