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.
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).
How do I use Webalizer?
Individual and cheap-web users should do the following:
- From your shell account, go into your webalizer space:
cd public_html/webalizer
If the "webalizer" directory does not already exist you will
have to create it:
- mkdir webalizer
- chmod 755 webalizer
- Generate the raw logs:
- getclogs -o > logfile
This produces the data that Webalizer will use to generate tables and
graphs.
- For a fairly generic Webalizer page::
- webalizer -n www.yourdomain.com logfile
(If you're using your personal web space, the domain will be
www.panix.com/~.)
For detailed information on Webalizer's options, run man
webalizer from a Unix prompt.
