Good Webserver Log Analysis Program?

[black_magiic]

Can anyone suggest a good webserver log analysis program.Cost isnt really an issue I just need to find a good program for the job. Google isnt yielding me a lot of good stuff. Mostly junk so I thought maybe someone could point me in the right direction.

For which webserver?

[black_magiic]

I use abyss webserver, Im not sure what format the log is in. I think its uses the Apache format or whatever it is. Sorry I cant be more specific

Webalizer is commonly used for analyzing Apache logs (from what I hear).

And I did manage to manipulate Google to tell me a few other programs.

I searched that in google to, that was the first thing I searched but didnt find anything too promising. I dont like webalizer because its command line. I would prefer a program with a GUI.

Generated reports can be configured from the command line, or by use of one or more configuration files. Detailed information on configuration options can be found in the README file, supplied with all distributions.

I don't know of any other program...but this one does look pretty nifty if you can get past your GUI bias :-D

You'd only have to configure it once...then just run the program against your configuration program. Simple.

So Im finally taking the time to make the config file and I think I did it all right. I just edited the sample one and renamed it. But when I click the webalizer thing it just brings up the dos prompt and immediatley closes it :-(

Try opening the command prompt first, and then running the program from the command prompt.

Ok problem solved I ran it after finding an error in my config file so all went well I think. Im just about to look over the output to see how it went.

EDIT: Well it looks like it worked, I just need to work out a few bugs. I need to figure out how to set up the country thing so it tells me which countries hits came from. Its also not detecting search engine refers it wont tell me keywords searched. A few other problems but for the most part it worked.
