Using Webalizer to analyze Apache logs - Page 6

by: Rodney Hampton

Finally, I created a cron script to run webalizer. Script 3. After running the script once, I inspected the output to ensure that it was functioning properly by pointing a browser at http://some_domain/usage/.

I put the script on autopilot by adding a line to my /etc/crontab like the following:

0-59/15 * * * * root /root/webalizer.php > /dev/null

Conclusion:

Webalizer is a superior log file analysis tool that is fast and free. With a little intelligent planning and liberal use of PHP, any ISP can begin to offer statistics to the owners of each domain that they host.
