Hits vs. Page Views
Sawmill for IronPort distinguishes between “hits” and “page views” for Web Security
appliance access logs. A hit is one access to a web server, such as one request for a file which
may not actually result in the transfer of a file, as in the case of a redirect or an error. A page
view is an access to a page rather than to an image or a support file like a style sheet.

For some web sites and some types of analysis, image files, .class files, .css file, and other files
are not as important as HTML pages—the important number is how many pages were
accessed, not how many images were downloaded. For other sites and other types of analysis,
all accesses are important.

is a page view by the file type. To learn more about this log filter, go to Config page > Log
Data > Log Filters and read the filter expression for the “Detect page views” and “Strip
non-page-views” log filters.
