Tool to evaluate the access.log from IBM HTTP Server?

Hi,
I am looking for a tool with which you can evaluate the access.log. For example, at what time was the access to the Connections page increased? Or on which day of the week was the number of views to the Connections page the highest? I had seen free tools such as awstats, webalizer...

Can you recommend me tools that are possibly better suited for evaluations?

Best Regards

Max

Hey Max !

I have seen Matomo(once "Piwik",https://matomo.org/) integrated in several Connections envoirnments for web analysis.
But in general Connections-Metrics, especially the new ElasticSearch-based metrics, are a good starting point and suits most needs without installing additional software.

Regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

thanks for the Informations and the recommendation.

The Elastic - Search component is good for metrics in the area of communities, wikis, blogs and more but it does not give any information when the traffic to the connections page was generally at its highest.

In regards to "peak sessions" you can use the error.log of the IBM HTTP Server. It contains a session monitor:

[Thu Mar 18 06:01:27 2021] [notice] mpmstats: rdy 595 bsy 5 rd 0 wr 0 ka 5 log 0 dns 0 cls 0

That's not what I'm looking for. I would like to have a pie chart or bar chart that shows on which days of the week e.g. monday, tuesday... the traffic to the website was the highest.

Extracting this data from the log without evaluation is not a great task. 😉
