RE: Log Analysis

["Mark Palmer, CCNA" <palmerm () concordia edu>]

I have been in the same boat and tried several products both WIN32 and *NIX.
No advertising here but I have found WebSpy (http://www.webspy.com) to meet
my needs and then some.  It is pricy but it has accomplished what used to
take me 2 to 4 days to do with Excel and Access.  

I hope this helps.

Not sure about windows, but there are alot of tools like that available for
Unix/Linux

Webalizer will show you traffic to and from sites  (plus alot more info) on
a graph and plain text.

If you mean 'sites' as in what computer has been accessed from where, check
sourceforge.net or freshmeat. i dont know of any that will put it in a nice
gui or graph for you but more than a few will send you email summarys.

Hi,

Are any of you aware of a tool that will allow an administrator to analyse
log files and produce statistics based on the log content.  I want to see
what sites have been accessed, how many times etc.

I want something preferably in real time with a gui/html interface. If it
was freeware/open source it would be great i.e. gnu etc.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

regards

Niall
