HTTPD Log Analyzers

The different httpd servers produces binary log files cataloging access, usage, etc. The following programs and scripts analyze and give readable usage statistics based on these logs (most in the form of html documents). For additions and suggestions to this list mail ian.graham@utoronto.ca (please refer to the document you are commenting on).

  1. Getstats -- Getstats is a C language program that "...takes the log file from your CERN, NCSA, Plexus, GN, MacHTTP, or UNIX Gopher server and spits back all sorts of statistics". The above link gives an HTML review of the package and shows you how to get your own copy.
  2. WWWstat -- WWWstat is a nice Perl script program that can analyse any log file in the standard log file format.
  3. Wusage -- Wusage ".... maintains usage statistics for a WWW server... ", and works with both NCSA and CERN httpd servers. It can deliver html documents showing this content, but requires the package pbmplus, source code and executables, to embed plots of usage in the documents it generates.
  4. Yahoo List of Log Tools -- Yahoo maintains a long list of log analysis tools. Have a look here for a more extensive list.
