Status​

The top of the screen shows how things stand: which collector is in use, whether a consent plugin is active, and whether session recording is waiting for consent. Its buttons are:

  • Check the collector again
  • Send me a test of the weekly email
  • Check yesterday for alerts now

Data​

OptionWhat it doesDefault
Keep reports for90 days, 6 months, 13 months or 2 years. Older days are deleted nightly.13 months
Daily limit per pagePage views counted per page per day; anything above is ignored. Stops a flood of fake traffic filling the database. 0 means no limit.5,000

Exclusions and proxies​

OptionWhat it does
Excluded IPsVisits from these are never counted. One per line: an address (203.0.113.7) or a range (203.0.113.0/24, 2001:db8::/32).
Trusted proxiesOnly if your site sits behind a CDN or load balancer: list its addresses so the visitor's address is read from the headers it adds. Leave it empty otherwise.

City database​

Downloads the free DB-IP city database, or shows the one in use. See Regions and cities.

Remove all data​

Deletes every report, heatmap and section statistic. Type DELETE to confirm. This cannot be undone, so export first if you might want it back.

Deactivating the extension never deletes anything.
