awstats

I use AWStats in cPanel to see stats of my website. Under Hosts section I see one IP address that has visited 150 pages. I am not sure if one person would have visited 150 pages using a browser. But if these 150 pages have been visited using a software application, then should not it be listed under Robots/Spider section.

So how do I determine if I should block a certain IP address that has visited several hundred pages of my website?

Thanks

Maybe I would want to activate it in future… >>> More

I'd like to use awstats to track usage of a URL shortener I'm using. Unfortunately, awstats treats log records with a non 200 status as an error, and excludes them from statistics. Is there a way to get awstats to treat 301s as 200s for stats tracking? >>> More
