excluding from search results

Hello everyone,

When a user visits a website, it can make hundreds of separate requests related to advertising. So i want to exclude all these logs and keep only the logs with 'real visits' to urlc: online shopping.

To be able to measure that, I came up with the idea of searching only the logs where user logged into his account. In which field(s) I can find this type of information?

with keywords in url?  Mtg?  Status? Mt? rule? Connect_protocol?  http_method?

Thanks

It depends. What is the data source? What fields are available from that source?
You could use a lookup file to filter out known advertising sites, but maintaining that list may be a big job.
