RE: Log Analysis

Webalizer http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/ is a very good application, there
are several others out there like Awstats http://awstats.sourceforge.net/

If you want to get stats on your users usage, set up a proxy (possibly
transparent) and use the logs from the proxy server to run your statistics.
Most of the web stat programs will read squid proxy logs

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
