I can't seem to filter based on a file name and or URL path to file. .

We run DotNetNuke for our public facing website. We have lots of PDF files that people can view. When I run an analysis on our IIS logs, I can see the file being referenced by the URL that you use to access it.

Here is the actual URL you use to get to the file: http://www.ncrb.org/portals/0/ncrb/wo...

So now I want to analyze our IIS logs with JUST that one file. But no matter what I put in the filter tab, it doesn't find the file. I have tried the above URL. I have tried the above full URL, as well as

"http://www.ncrb.org/portals/0/ncrb/wo..."

/ncrb/workers%20comp%20services/forms/erm-14%20complete.pdf

/erm*.pdf

"/erm-14 complete.pdf"

And a bunch of other attempts. Is the problem DotNetNuke and how it presents links? or am I missing something in the filter?

Thanks in advance!

The full URL seem to be "/portals/0/ncrb/workers comp services/forms/erm-14 complete.pdf". %20 should be entered as spaces (%20 is an encoding of spaces in log files, the program converts it to spaces). So you need to enter either the full name or a wildcard that matches it, e.g. */erm*.pdf

First of all you should try */erm*.pdf . The full URL that should work too is
"/portals/0/ncrb/workers comp services/forms/erm-14 complete.pdf"

Quotes are required in case a path contains spaces.
