Log Analysis Software?

What do you guys like?

Thanks,
[L]

I like a package I saw a couple of years ago. You fed in the tree diameter,
length, and it would give you the optimal cutting pattern for getting the
most useable lumber from the log... whoops...

I use sitemeter. It's doesn't analyze your log, but rather tracks your hits
on its servers. A good variey of views of the data.

WebTrends is the industry big boy...

Urchin makes a nice package....

Analog is typically found with most entry level hosting plans...

Thanks for the recommendation, but I don't want to have a counter on my
pages. From the looks of it Sitemeter requires you to, right?

Any others?

What kind of budget are you looking at? If you want to go all out...

http://www.netiq.com/products/wrc/default.asp

Starts at $3500 (up to $10,500) plus requires a support plan (minimum
18% of purchase price). They also have an even higher version,
WebTrends Intelligence Suite, which is a "please call so we can gently
reveal the incredibly high price to you" product. For a comprehensive
hosted service:

http://www.netiq.com/products/wtl/default.asp

This one's $35/month (plus usage) and provides a decent level of
reporting. I don't have direct experience with WebTrends, but they've
been around for quite some time and apprently know what they're doing in
the stats reporting business.

Budget, what's that? <g>

I downloaded the trial at www.123loganalyzer.com and liked it, but was
trying to avoid the $129 cost.

Now compared to $3500...

Hi Russ,

Analyzes a web server traffic log and spits out the information in usable
form. (e.g. www.123loganalyzer.com)

Heh, it's what's left over after you've gone out and bought all the cool
hardware and software toys you've always wanted, and after you've paid
yourself so much money that you don't need any more. ;-)

There's always these pair:

http://www.analog.cx
http://www.reportmagic.org

Both are completely free (Report Magic works with Analog to make its
output look prettier), requires a bit of knowledge to setup (though it's
really not that difficult) and can either be run on your web server
automatically or on your local workstation after downloading the server
log files. I think that'll fit in the budget.

Don't know what you mean. (ah, okay... I do...) :-)
