What is Awstats ?

AWStats is an open source Web analytics reporting tool, suitable for analyzing data  from Internet  services such as web, streaming media, mail and FTP servers. AWStats parses and analyzes server log files, producing HTML reports. Data is visually presented within reports by tables and bar graphs. Static reports can be created through a command line interface, and on-demand reporting is supported through a web browser CGI program.

Awstats is probably the best open source web stat program available (with other projects like webalizer and analog, no longer being maintained). Besides many security problems that are found all the time in Awstats, the main problem that bothered me is its speed. Awstats is written in perl, and this means that it will be considerably slower than a similar program written in C for example (like webalizer for example). There is not much we can do to speed awstats, but on high traffic sites (with logs growing over a few Gigs of data per day) this can be a real problem…

AWStats is a free powerful and featureful tool that generates advanced web, streaming, ftp or mail server statistics, graphically. This log analyzer works as a CGI or from command line and shows you all possible information your log contains, in few graphical web pages. It uses a partial information file to be able to process large log files, often and quickly.
