Sawmill is a powerful, hierarchical log analysis tool, well
suited for web server access and referrer logs, but can
process almost any log. It runs as a CGI program on your
web server, and publishes an intuitive graphical user
interface which can be used from any web browser to
configure and run Sawmill, or to view the statistics pages.
The statistics pages are hierarchical, attractive, and heavily crosslinked for easy navigation. Complete documentation is built directly into the program. Sawmill provides an extensive set of features, including a persistent database, fine control over the appearance of stats pages, and versatile log filtering options.
EDIFIED This is pretty neat software that uses an epimodular approach to log analysis. It spits out really nice html that you can view from anywhere. I have it set up on a script so I can update and view my stats in a password protected web directory on the server.
It's good at differentiating traffic type to. (Version 7.2.6)
MINOTAUR Sawmill is a highly flexible if sometimes daunting application. It is miles ahead of other packages in terms of the ability to filter, format, and otherwise dig through my Web logs. Two features that I like are: the ability to filter out MY visits to my (remotely hosted) site, as well as identifiable bots; and, the ability to trace visitors paths through the site. I've gleaned valuable information (not sure it is yet profitable) about how visitors traverse my site. To the first point, I was surprised my how much of the traffic that Webalizer and Analog (provided by my Web host) report are, in fact, due to my own visits and the visits of bots. (Version 7.1)
