I need a free server traffic analyzer

Post by **eepberries** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 6:41 am

So I set up an image hosting server a while ago. I want to install something that will load my logs and easily allow me to see where hits are coming from, how much traffic I'm getting, etc. Anyone have any reccomendations? I use IIS btw

I've found WebLog Expert to be a very good tool for analysing traffic and a hell of a lot more. You can get a trial version for free, but I must say, the full version is very good.

The damned thing won't open my logs, saying it can't recognize their format. But I'm using the W3SVC1 format... what?

I've only ever used it with Apache 1.3.2.7, but it says that it supports parsing of ICS logs.... so hmmm. Can you get IIS to format the logs differently to how it does currently?

Have you tried traffic analyzer pro?

Use Apache, it has hundreds of sever-analyzers.

Shit. Anyone know of any mirrors for the latest stable release of the windows installer for Apache? I tried downloading it from the Apache site but the download link is busted

Also, is there any sort of visual manager for the apache http server? Like, is there any quick, visual way to set access defaults and other important things like that?

Notepad and httpd.conf is the only way I know... Its a well commented file, and you dont need to change much in it to get your server up and running.

I have to edit httpd.conf just to set permissions for folders in htdocs?

nono, to do that you have to fool around with a seperate permissions file (?)
