Webserver log files analyser.
Analog is a program to analyse the logfiles from your web server. It tells you which pages are most popular, which countries people are visiting from, which sites they tried to follow broken links from, etc. It has the following advantages over other similar programs.
- It's free (under the GPL).
- It's fast. Very fast. Analog can uncompress and process 5 million logfile lines per minute (on a 350MHz G3; your mileage may vary). That's 1GB of data every 2 minutes!
- It's easy to install and run.
- Analog can handle very large logfiles. Results depend on your system, but at least one site is using it on logfiles of over one billion lines (100GB) with no trouble.
- It's very flexible. The default output will be satisfactory for most people, but there are hundreds of options producing 32 different reports for those who want to do things differently.
- It can output in 35 different languages.
- It understands WebStar, Quid Pro Quo, Boulevard, MacHTTP, Microsoft Personal Web Server, Apple Share IP 5.0, NCSA common log file format, NCSA/Apache combined format, referrer log, browser log, W3C extended format, Microsoft IIS v3 and v4 format, Netscape format, and the user can specify additional formats.
- Version 6.0 work on any Macintosh running Mac OS 8.1 or newer, and versions are also available for Windows (3, 95 & NT), DOS, lots of flavors of Unix, OS/2, VMS, Acorn RiscOS, BeOS, BS2000/OSD, Mac OS/Mac OS X and others.
- Support for almost all languages.
- One survey showed that over 25% of webmasters use Analog, more than any other logfile analysis program. Try asking Google for some of them.
- Oh, one more thing. It is Year 2000 compatible. (And so were all previous versions).
