What is AWStats
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 Public License. You can have a look at this license chart to know what you can/can't do.
As AWStats works from the command line but also as a CGI, it can work with all web hosting providers which allow Perl, CGI and log access.
