A very nice web log analyser and summary generator is
awstats. Install the package:
This will give you a statistics summary page at
https://localhost/cgi-bin/awstats.pl. You will need to enable
icons by adding the following line to your apache
configuration file /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Alias /awstats-icon/ /usr/share/awstats/icon/
|
Also you may like to include browser and host OS information in the
summary by using the apache combined log format:
Be sure the apache generates this information (the default is not to).
Your /etc/apache/httpd.conf should contain:
CustomLog /var/log/apache/access.log combined
|
To allow the analyser to run through the apache log files
(/var/log/apache/access) it needs permission to be able to
read them. The simplest approach is to:
# chmod o+r /var/log/apache/access*
|
The summary log file can now be generated with:
# /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=awstats -update
|
(This is what cron also runs every 10 minutes, by default.)
