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

How it works and what it does?
Essentially, the way GoAccess works is that it will parse the well-known Apache access log file, from there, GoAccess will collect data from the parsed log and it will display it to the console or the X terminal. The collected information or generated reports will be displayed to the user/sysadmin in a visual/interactive window. Reports include:
- General Statistics, bandwidth etc.
- Top Visitors
- Requested files
- Requested static files, images, swf, js, etc.
- Referrers URLs
- 404 or Not Found
- Operating Systems
- Browsers and Spiders
- Hosts, Reverse DNS, IP Location
- HTTP Status Codes
- Referring Sites
- Keyphrases
- Different Color Schemes
- Unlimited log file size
Log format...
GoAccess can parse both of Apaches' log formats, the Common Log Format (CLF) and the Combined Log Format (XLF/ELF), including virtual host. It is possible to parse Nginx as well. (if configured with the standard Apache log format)

FAQ
Why GoAccess?
The main idea behind GoAccess is being able to quickly analyze and view (apache) web server statistics in real time without having to generate huge HTML web reports. You can see it more as a monitor command tool than anything else. (or at least that's the intended purpose)
