Known limitations

What the panel does not do, stated up front so a number is never read as more than it is.

What the panel does not do, stated up front so a number is never read as more than it is.

  • The numbers need JavaScript. The page, the navigation, the period picker, the session search and every settings form work without it, because they are drawn on the server and post normally. The cards fill in over separate requests, so with scripting off they stay in their loading state.
  • Changing the period or a filter reloads the page, and every card asks for its numbers again. With Cached queries switched on, answers already kept are reused and each card says how old its numbers are.
  • Jobs belong to the sign-in that started them. Signed in as someone else, a running job is not visible to you; it is not transferred.
  • The count of distinct addresses is approximate above about a hundred. The panel says so wherever it shows one.
  • The map is country resolution. It never implies a precision the address databases do not have.
  • The access log is read after the fact. Loghound is not a firewall and blocks nothing; what you see was already served or refused by your web server.

What Loghound cannot see at all, such as traffic answered by a CDN or a browser cache, is listed on False positives.
