GoAccess – Open-source real-time log analyzer and interactive viewer

It is now mostly unusable for web analytics. So many scrapers are pretending to be browsers. On my site, there is a factor 10 with what I consider an honest view of human visitors.

Unfortunately, each time a new log analyzer appears, it seems to only be analyzing web access logs in combined format.

I've revived AWFFull for static log analysis, just like in the good old webalizer days :-). Link to the report is in my bio, sorry, I can't post links here for now. What I'm seeing matches the observations of the other commenters here exactly: most of the "users" are bots harvesting pages and PDFs. My solution for getting at the real users is GoatCounter.

This always looks cool and the real-time aspect always gets attention. However, If I remember correctly, it was kind of a burden to get deployed. Again, if I remember correctly, it was able to make reports for AWS Cloudfront logs, which was actually useful.

GoAccess is an awesome tool! If I recall correctly, it was developed as an alternative (Go port) of a popular log analyzer called lnav ( https://lnav.org ), which is quite popular too: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=lnav.org
