Analog

Analog is a popular Web Log Analyzer that can be installed directly on a Virtual Private Server. Analog will analyze your web server logfiles in-place and then create HTML, text, or even E-mail reports of your web site traffic. Analog is available from the FreeBSD Ports Collection in /ports/www/analog/.

Once you have installed Analog, you will need to modify the Analog configuration file (/usr/local/etc/analog.cfg) to your preferences. You can then run Analog using the following command.

# /usr/local/bin/analog

To run Analog regularly, you can add a line to your Crontab. The example below would run Analog and Email you the results on a weekly basis.

59 23 * * 7 /usr/local/bin/analog +O- +a | /usr/bin/mail -s "Weekly Stats" user@YOUR-DOMAIN.NAME

This will cause your Virtual Private Server to send you an E-mail each Sunday night at 11:59pm containing your Analog analysis report in ASCII format. For more information concerning Analog command line arguments, see the documentation.
