Panix Web FAQ: 2.2. Webalizer
What is Webalizer?
The Webalizer is a web server log file analysis program which produces usage statistics in HTML format for viewing with a browser. The results are presented in both columnar and graphical format, which facilitates interpretation. Yearly, monthly, daily and hourly usage statistics are presented, along with the ability to display usage by site, URL, referrer, user agent (browser) and country.
How do I use Webalizer?

Individual users, or Corp-Web users who do not wish to be added to our monthly cron run, will need to first generate their raw logs manually. This must be done from the Unix shell, with the command:

getclogs -o > [$LOGFILE]

This will produce the output necessary to process the logs with Webalizer.

A fairly generic Webalizer command to run on the output of getclogs is:

webalizer -n www.yourdomain.com [$LOGFILE]

If you wish to use more of Webalizer's options, run man webalizer from a Unix prompt.

Interpreting Webalizer Reports

Can I have my Webalizer output automatically generated?

Panix will add corp-web users to our monthly Webalizer cron run on request. Individual users must set up their own cron jobs (cron access is available on request).
