Looking for real-time web server analytics package [closed]

Answer 1

Piwik "aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics."

It requires PHP and MySQL (to host it on your own server).

Answer 2

To the best o my knowledge, Splunk is one of the best players in that area. You can use it for free up to about 500MB of logs per day. OSSec has a slightly different focus (intrusion detection), but might also be useful for your (seemingly basic) purposes.

Answer 3

I use Woopra on a number of sites. It shows a wealth of real-time info and even let's you interact with your site users. Here is a full screen shot.

Answer 4

Look into VisiStat. Real time and Hosted. Live support and excellent customer service. Woopra has a list you need to be a part of to get. It is also a BETA application that might never be released. VisiStat is on it's 6th version and offered publicly.

Answer 5

Ended up going with SmarterStats as mentioned at:

IIS monitoring tool

Its free for one site (which is all I need to monitor), it tracks almost everything I need to track, and so far it runs quite nicely.

Thank you all for your answers.
