RE: generalInfo

If you are looking for log file parsers, two of the most common log file
parsers for Apache are webalizer and awstats. I personally prefer
webalizer, but that is just me and many people have their own
preference. Those two are good because they are popular, so you can find
lots of documentation on them both. Both have web based visual
interfaces with graphs and charts.

Thank You,

Hello everybody,

Because of the fact, that there are so many posts related to the Apache
Web
Server, I decided to ask you the following question: J

I'm using Apache on Solaris and I want to make a usage statistics.
(Which
files were accessed to day / last moth / last year?) 

Does Apache have any APIs (some kind of performance objects, like the MS
Web
server has, so I can easily find those information I need) or do I have
to
analyze (parse) the log file?

In the web I've just found the -log-file-parsing-solution advice.

 

Btw., what visualization tool do you recommend me for making graphs out
of
the data I get from the Apache log parsing? (So I can use them in a web
page)

 

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
