http Logs Viewer

http Logs Viewer: Monitor, view and analyze Apache log files with this useful utility

Apache HTTP Servers are used frequently to make websites accessible online and one of their core functions is to record incoming connections and other data about the request type, IP address and location of these connections. Apache Log Viewer is a handy tool that can display Apache log files, along with related information such as request size, location and IP addresses.

Apache logs are plain text files and one of the drawbacks of this simple format is it makes it hard to go through large amounts of information, because of its limited formatting and sorting options. This application handles Apache log files and displays them in an organized way, making use of ordered lists and tables so you can easily view recorded connections and related data.

As a result, it enables you to visualize all available information, including access dates, requests, IP addresses and the size of transferred files. You can sort the listed items by clicking on the field you want to use as a criteria, but also filter them using specific terms.

There’s also a find option that lets you go directly to the connection you’re interested in, by entering a specific keyword. Apache Log Viewer can generate reports offering essential and easy to read information regarding hits per hour, bots, visits and popular browsers used to navigate your website.

Furthermore, it offers a number of statistics about your server’s traffic, the total number of unique visitors within a defined time period and top referrers. Users can print these statistics as well as any other report provided by the app and the complete access log can be saved on the hard drive as HTML, TXT or CSV documents.
