Newer versions can anonymize the logs/reports; ethical and GDPR friendly :)

What is GoAccess?

GoAccess is an open source real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in *nix systems or through your browser. It provides fast and valuable HTTP statistics for system administrators that require a visual server report on the fly.

Why GoAccess?

GoAccess was designed to be a fast, terminal-based log analyzer. Its core idea is to quickly analyze and view web server statistics in real time without needing to use your browser (great if you want to do a quick analysis of your access log via SSH, or if you simply love working in the terminal).

While the terminal output is the default output, it has the capability to generate a complete real-time HTML report (great for analytics, monitoring and data visualization), as well as a JSON, and CSV report.

Key Features

• Fast, real-time, millisecond/second updates, written in C • Only ncurses as a dependency • Nearly all web log formats (Apache, Nginx, Amazon S3, Elastic Load Balancing, CloudFront, etc) • Simply set the log format and run it against your log • Beautiful terminal and bootstrap dashboards (Tailor GoAccess to suit your own color taste/schemes) • and of course, Valgrind tested.
