Overview: Using local traffic policies with Analytics
When you attach an Analytics (AVR) profile to a virtual server, the BIG-IP® system can gather, log, notify, and display statistical information about the traffic. You can associate a local traffic policy with a virtual server to further define which transactions to include or exclude in the statistics. Rules in the local traffic policy can enable or disable AVR for whatever type of traffic you want to define. You might want to do this to save system resources by not deploying Analytics on parts of the traffic that you are not interested in monitoring.
This implementation shows how to create an HTTP Analytics profile to store statistics locally. It then describes how to create a local traffic policy and add rules to the policy so that the Analytics module saves statistics for all traffic except that which has a URI containing the word index. (In this case, you are not interested in monitoring traffic directed towards index pages.)
Other options are available for configuring local traffic policies with Analytics. By following through the steps in this example, you can see the other options that are available on the screens, and can adjust the example for your needs.

Associating a published local traffic policy with a virtual server
Implementation results
When you have completed the steps in this implementation, you have configured the BIG-IP® system to store statistics locally. A local traffic policy instructs the Analytics module to save statistics for all traffic except that which has a URI containing the word index.
