I know I can go look at /var/log/apache2/access, but I'd like to have some kind of live/realtime monitor so I can see who is logging in (to the secure area) and what they are accessing (all info in the access log).
What is your real concern eh ? sound a bit excessive worring to me, maybe you are walking the wrong way...
Walking the wrong way? On my personal webserver, I know exactly who is logging in... I created their accounts. I see when they log in when I check the webserver logs... I'm simply curious what monitoring tools are out there for Linux based webservers beyond the most primitive - which is the logfile itself, and maybe... apachetop. Are there any real-time GUI based web access monitoring tools available? The webserver gets blasted by people looking for primarily php exploits, although I see probes for my cgi-bin, ruby, MySQL and a few others. None of which are installed/available on this webserver. I also see random attempts from unknown IPs to log into the secured area. I'm interested in seeing this stuff when it happens... not 2 or 3 days later when I happen to remember to look at the logs. This has to be information that web admins are interested in... and they must monitor it somehow... but since I'm not a web admin, I don't know how it's done (beyond browsing weblogs)... thus the question. I have this private webserver that I can play with under controlled conditions. I own the hardware and the information on the webserver... I figure it's a good opportunity to learn something.
