Apache / SuSE 8.0 server traffic monitor
Hello all, Is there some sort of tool I can use to analyze how my web servers are being hit? Source IPs, pages visited, peak times, etc.? I'd like to have a nice web based tool, don't know if there is something out there (most likely is).. So far I just parse my server access logs. thanks! Ahbaid.

I think awstats is one of the best web stats packages out there (awstats.sourceforge.net) I run it from a cron job each night to generate static HTML pages, but you can do live stats too as a CGI program. If you're curious about what the output looks like, check http://trutwins.homeip.net/awstats/ Keep in mind this is just a low-traffic personal site. I don't know if SuSE has this on their CD's. If not, just download from the awstats website, it doesn't require compiling as it's just s bunch of perl scripts. Josh

I'll second that promotion -- I too run awstats (take the "net" link from my homepage below) I have a cron job that updates the base statistic file(s) every hour, and the script simply picks it up and formats in real-ish time [this is running on a dual P-III system, though when it ran on a single 266 mhz p-II it was still fast enough to do it this way -- I really should set things up to build static pages and simply reference them but what's the point? this server runs at an average load of 0.02...] Another source of live data/examples is sourceforge itself. They are running the absolute latest version [5.4 or 5.5], I'm running 5.3. The version on the SuSE CD's is 3.something [I think] [nope, just checked: 4.1 -- I must have had 3.x from the previous SuSE installation (8.0)] Tom -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net
