Re: [Summary-Talk] alias/reporting bug?

[Dale LaFountain <dalela@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jason,

Well, you're partially right.  I was using Global Aliases at first.
I moved my two aliases to the subreport that has the added query tag,
and I'm still seeing the same behavior...  The last character of the
url is getting truncated in the page-related reports.

The two aliases in my subreport are:
'(.*)\?did=([0-9]+) --> $1?id=$2
'(.*)\?did=([0-9]+)&id=([0-9]+) --> $1?id=$2,$3

test1 in: /downloads.php?did=144
test1 out: /downloads.php?id=144
test2 in: /downloads.php?did=144&id=434
test2 out: /downloads.php?id=144,434

Requests report:
/downloads.php?id=14

If I turn on "Include query string in requests", I can see what I'm
looking for (and then some).  If this option was configurable per
subreport, I would be home free.  If the above doesn't work out, I
suppose I could wade through all my vhosts that have sessionid/
cachebuster strings and use aliases to mask them out, allowing me to
turn the query string on globally without having Summary blow up.  Is
there any chance of "include query string in requests" ever being
configurable per subreport (I have SP Lite 2.6.8 now)?

Do you need a sample log file to test this against?  I would be happy
to help diagnose this problem further if you need more info.

Thanks,

Dale
