Used by Special:Logs
Allows you to search the log files. You can define the date range and add a filter that can be normal or regex.
Options
- Regex: Uses regex pattern. The pattern must use delimiters like /pattern/
- Unique: The list contains only the last unique pageview entry: Unique vi
- Statistics: Returns statistics instead of rows. Hits, average time, unique page views and unique visitors.
- Table: Returns text in a CSV-form
A pageview is considered unique for one user and one calendar day. Visitors are considered unique for the whole search period.
There is one log file per day. On crowded sites this can still be big. Actually there is no time limit set, so you can get a timeout or even a 500 error if you search too broadly.
Each request creates one log line. The lines are filtered, actually.
On the found lines, the page also returns the count, the count of unique users and the average process time.
