Online Based Apache Web Log Analyzer By Submitting Just the Raw Logfile
I have a raw "access.log" file from Apache. Is there any web based version tool where I can just submit this raw log file and return me the analysis results
I am aware of the code such as AWSTATS, but it require us to install it in the server, which is not what I want.
Answer
Instead of uploading the access.log file to an unknown and untrusted third party, I'd suggest installing a desktop application like Apache Log Viewer. Quoted from its website:
Apache Logs Viewer (ALV) is a free and powerful tool which lets you monitor, view and analyze apache logs with more ease. It offers search and filter functionality for the log file, highlighting the various http requests based on their status code. There is also a report facility, thus you can generate a pie/bar chart in seconds. Together with this there are also statistics where you can get the top hits, top errors, number of status codes, total bandwidth and more.
Apache Logs Viewer is a great tool to use for web analytics. Use it to get your website more productive, detect any errors and fix them. You can determine the visitors originating country and if the referrer logging is enabled than it is easier to see from which website the clients are coming from, the search terms used and which pages where visited.
