Is there a good alternative to analog for web server log analysis?
I have been using Analog to analyze the logs of our Apache web server. While analog is quite powerful, I find it quite tedious to set it up correctly to get the information that you want.
My question is: Do you know any (perhaps more "modern") tools to analyze web server log files? Preferably these would be tools running on the web server machine itself, which in my case is a Debian Linux system.
Solution 1:
I've been fairly happy with AWStats
They've got a demo page set up here for a quick example.
Solution 2:
For completenesss, I'll also throw in a suggestion of Webalizer, although it's been a while since I used it last. (My more recent experience has been with the already-mentioned AWStats.
