Hi,

Unfortenately there is no good unix stats package....I have tried
most of them to be honest they all suck especially when having
quite an amount of traffic....

I would recommend to buy a simple windows box and install
livestats 6.2 check out the demo it´s fucking awesome...
Just make a samba share for your logfiles and it works like a
charm...

Having good stats is essential....the money you spend on a
simple windows box will pay back in no time...this package
rocks...No I don´t work for this company and I don´t have
shares.....I´m just a very happy user of their software

Here´s the URL....

IMO the best way is raw logs run through Webtrends

webtrends is okay but with huge logfiles it sucks....
livestats can generate stats from split logfiles aswell in case
you use a cluster for loadbalacing....that saves you writing a
script to join seperate logfiles into a single one....

Livestats keeps very small database....hardly uses any diskspace
I rotate logs every 4 hours...and it works like a charm

webalizer works on a single machine but don´t expect it to be
able to handle BIG logfiles....besides that it contains very very little usefull information.....

It just reports totals and averages....not any real usefull
information if you would like to analise it for marketing purposes.
