log analyzer

nasht

Hi,

My hosting plan provides me with the full logs for my website.
But they provide it as raw text.

All the popular log analyzer I found needed Perl, CGI and access to command-line.
My cheap plan only gives me PHP/MySQL, and no command-line access.

I understand I could install a php script that would log all my traffic again and display it nice. However that would be a waste of sql time, cpu and other, since the hosting company already logged everything needed.

Isn't there a tool out there that would help me analyze my logs, without having to use command-line?
I was think PHP could do it. Maybe a php script that open the logs as text, do some stuff, and display it nice.
Or maybe an actual windows application?

My site does not have high traffic, that's one thing not to worry about.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nathan

You could write a PHP script to parse your log files and generate a nicely formatted report. The following link looks like it will be of use here:-

Parsing Apache log files

If you want to go the Windows app route, there are a few listed at this link:-

Thanks,
That's what I was thinking about, now my question is maybe someone already built such a script?

nasht - who do you use for your hosting? - I'm after a cheap solution that has PHP and MySQL myself!

I use 1and1.com .
I have their Linux Beginner plan, and so far I'm satisfied.
If you're planning on using their services, please use this link:

I think they'll give me free hosting if I refer you 😉

Still no ideas out there for my logs?
