Not sure if this really relates to the consolidated view or a more basic issue, but I’m seeing the stats claim a lot of “anonymous user” page views on my site, which ONLY permits access by logged-in users. Other than pages like privacy policy, TOS, etc. which I’d like to block from non-logged in users (but can’t in Discourse currently), no other pages are accessible at all unless you’re logged in. The crawler count is similarly suspect, but with a much smaller actual count.

I was just wondering about a similar thing. I just updated to beta 9 and saw the following: [Screenshot_20190122-130715_1] It’s telling me I have way more logged in users than even exist on my forum. Where’s this data gathered from?

Cheers. :person_facepalming: That’s what I get for not reading carefully enough. Stupid mistake on my part.

[image] Falco: That is Logged in users PAGEVIEWS Apparently that text is not that intuitive. Would from Crawlers from Logged in users from Anonymous cowards look simpler to understand @10ColorsTenkara and @L30110 ?

[image] TheBestPessimist: from Anonymous cowards Why, I never! How dare you sir! :wink:

After a lot of years, that title still makes me giggle a little :blush:

Yes, I like that. Good suggestion.

Mystery solved. The ops team put an uptime checker on the site: LogicMonitor SiteMonitor/1.0: 50339

I’ve a similar query. I’m seeing a consistent 2000ish crawler hits per day. Is this all the login page? I likewise allow access only to logged in users:
