AWStats

Deprecation notice (November 2025) AWStats has been maintained for 25 years with enormous appreciation for everyone who used and contributed to it. The AWStats project is now deprecated and no longer actively developed. For modern, privacy-respecting, supported log analytics we strongly recommend migrating to Matomo Log Analytics. Matomo Log Analytics: Matomo (main site): How to migrate from AWStats to Matomo (FAQ): The rest of this README preserves the original AWStats documentation for historical and reference purposes. It supports the following features as well: Can analyze all log formats Works from command line and from a browser as a CGI (with dynamic filters capabilities for some charts) Update of statistics can be made on demand from the web interface and not only from your scheduler Unlimited log file size, support split log files (load balancing system) Support 'nearly sorted' log files even for entry and exit pages Reverse DNS lookup before or during analysis, supports DNS cache files Country detection from IP location or domain name WhoIS links A lot of options/filters and plugins can be used Multi-named web sites supported (virtual servers) Cross Site Scripting Attacks protection Several languages No need of rare perl libraries Dynamic reports as CGI output Static reports in one or framed HTML or XHTML pages Experimental PDF export Look and colors can match your site design (CSS) Help and tooltips on HTML reported pages Easy to use (Just one configuration file to edit) Analysis database can be stored in XML format (for XSLT processing, ...) A Webmin module Free (GNU GPL) with sources (perl scripts) Available on all platforms To use AWStats CGI script, you need the following requirements: Your server must log web access in a log file you can read. To run awstats, from command line, your operating system must be able to run perl scripts (.pl files). Perl module "Encode" must be available. To run awstats as a CGI (for real-time statistics), your web server must also be able to run such scripts.
