Visitor logs and page requests that throw errors

In Admin Preferences, I have set logging to “All Hits.” I have also installed the plug-in wan_error_email, which sends me an email when there is an error in Txp. Most of the mails are about requests for pages that don’t exist. But none of these bad requests show up in the Visitor Logs. Is that normal?

Is there a way to track requests that throw an error in Txp? Or is that info only available in the server logs?

Apparently it is.

I’m using Slimstat, it does log 404s. Easier to check than the server logs :)

Thanks, Els. I’ll take your advice and install Slimstat on that site, too.
