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. It
can analyze log files from all major server tools like Apache
log files (NCSA combined/XLF/ELF log format or common/CLF
log format), WebStar, IIS (W3C log format) and a lot of other
web, proxy, wap, streaming servers, mail servers and some
ftp servers.
Take a look at this comparison table for an idea on features
and differences between most famous statistics tools (AWStats,
Analog, Webalizer,...).
AWStats is a free software distributed under the GNU General

CGI and log access.
