Apache...stats and such?

[wfbvegas]

Hi...

I was wondering, does Apache in itself present any sort of "stats"? (hits, unique IP's, etc...)

If so, does it present it in a log, much like the rest of the Linux logs?

Could it possibly present this info in a GUI fashion, or perhaps even generate it's own html of the logs?
(read: managers and supervisors need to read the stats...the easier it is for them to decipher it, the better)


If Apache itself doesn't do it, are there any other apps that will present the info in such a manner?

thanks!

:rolleyes:

Apache only store its log file and can't present any sort of "stats"? in order to get this, you need to install software like 'analog' (http://www.analog.cx).

Try Webalizer (http://www.webalizer.com). Very easy to set up, and tells you everything, even stuff you didn't want to know.

Oh, it gets it from the Apache log files, which log everything, but are a little hard to dicipher. They're located in the logs directory of your Apache Install.

I have used webalizer and have to agree that it's pretty spiffy. Try it

Some versions of apache do have a stats page that will display the current status of the server as an html page, but it's probably not what you're looking for...

If you want to check it out, it's probably commented out in your apache conf file (I don't have a web server under my administrative control at the moment or I'd dig it out for you).
