VERY, VERY SIMPLE. After clicking the link: "Edit settings for 
thedomainname.com" and landing on the next page where you have the 
main Configuration settings: Add a check box or radio buttons above 
the Site descriptive name:  Call it this: "Include this report in 
Process Logs: [yes]  [no]

Default to yes when a new sub-report is created, then if someone 
updated the button to no, the next scheduled processing of Logs 
whether is was a manual push or scheduled push does not get included 
in the processing of reports. Additionally, when someone accesses 
their report via their own log-in I think it should say something 
like "This report's log processing has been disabled by the 
administrator". That could go underneath the line that states the 
last time the report was run.

This is probably the easiest way to implement this feature into the 
existing GUI, though I have other ideas that would require some 
jostling around of the GUI pages.

Let me know what you think.

Yes, but the turning off Incremental, deleting the domain, then 
having to re-add the domain and associated passwords, etc. Is just 
way too tedious, processor intensive, a waste of time and bandwidth.
