LogAnalyser

Download or view a sample report*

LogAnalyser is a perl script which analyses a website's logfiles and produces a report. You will need access to the logfiles themselves, preferably on your own computer (FTP them and then analyse them).

You will need a working copy of perl. Activestate.com and perl.com may be able to help you with this.

To run the program: edit the perl code to point to whereever your logfiles are stored. Then from a command line, type perl LogAnalyser.pl (don't forget to rename it with a pl extension!)

The program is quite slow (10-13 seconds for 50,000 lines) but it does show a lot more information than you'll get from other programs.

* Apologies, I've removed the sample report because it got jumped-upon by search engines, and too many people are quitting the site having been directed there as their first page. Email me if you'd like sample output, or run the program on some logfiles of your own.
