Settings is where everything about your Loghound installation is changed after setup. It has eighteen cards, each a page of its own under Settings in the panel’s navigation. Below they are in the order the panel shows them, one line each, with the page that explains it.
Each card posts a plain form with a security token, so it works with JavaScript switched off. Only the beacon status, the job buttons and picking a CSV file need scripting. No secret is ever shown back: where it matters, a card says “Set” or “Missing”.
The two things setup cannot do for you: start ingestion, and add the beacon to your site. Shows the exact command and whether ingestion is running. Running it.
Only the problems that stop Loghound working, with a block you can copy into a bug report. Empty means healthy. Critical errors.
Everything Loghound put on the machine, and the commands to inspect, stop or remove it. Running it.
What the installation needs from the machine, checked again every time you open it, with the exact fix for anything failing. System check & setup token.
The access log files being read and the format of each. Confirm or remove a source; rescanning runs as a job. Log sources.
Requests that are never recorded at all, and the one email address that keeps your own visits out. Exclusions.
Your own patterns for requests that are an attack on your sites, plus 48 shipped defaults you can switch off. Attack patterns.
Your Opensolr account, region, both index names and the query timeout; change the account or switch to another index pair; check the index schema. Joining a pair you have and Upgrading.
Whether the panel keeps Solr answers and serves them again, and for how long. Off on a new installation. Cached queries.
The snippet to paste, built with your own address, every option it reads, and a live check of whether beacon data is arriving. Installing the beacon.
The hostnames on other servers the beacon may create visits for, and the URL parameters kept as search terms. Measured sites.
How visitor addresses are stored (full, truncated or hashed), how many days hits and sessions are kept, and whether the small daily rollups are kept forever. Address modes.
The age rule and the disk rule side by side, which one is deciding now, and a preview that counts what would be deleted. The panel never deletes anything itself. Retention & disk.
The points each rule adds and the four verdict thresholds. Saving records a new scoring version; sessions already scored are not scored again. Tuning the weights.
Browser password prompt or Loghound’s own sign-in page, your username and password, and the browsers staying signed in. Signing in.
Turn it on with an authenticator app, get recovery codes, turn it off. Each change asks for a current code. Two-factor.
The panel language and the time zone timestamps are shown in. Timestamps are always mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss. Languages.
Deletes both Opensolr indexes and every document in them, removes the configuration and sends you to the installer. You type DELETE EVERYTHING to confirm. Start over.
