Re: How Do I Keep Track OF the Files Being Downloaded From My Apache?

[Sam <transiency@transiency.org>]

Hi,

I have a little perl script I made a while ago, takes the path of your logfile and, optionally an output file to write to; as command line arguments. Anyway, thought you might like to tinker with it, as you might be able to alter it for your specific needs.


------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w


#$LOGFILE = "/var/log/apache2/access.log";  #uncomment this line is you have standard apache2 logging
open(LOGFILE, '<', $ARGV[0]) or die("Could not open log file.");
open(OUT, '>', $ARGV[1]) or die "Error: $!\n";
foreach $line (<LOGFILE>) {
    $w = "(.+?)";
    $line =~ m/^$w $w $w \[$w:$w $w\] "$w $w $w" $w $w (.+)/;


    $site     = $1;
    $logName  = $2;
    $fullName = $3;
    $date     = $4;
    $time     = $5;
    $gmt      = $6;
    $req      = $7;
    $file     = $8;
    $proto    = $9;
    $status   = $10;
    $length   = $11;
        $ident = $12;

        %log = ("ip","$site","lname","$logName","name","$fullName","date","$date","time","$time","gmt","$gmt","request","$req","file","$file","prototype","$proto","status","$status","length","$length","ident",
"$ident");

        print "\n$log{ip} , $log{date} , $log{time} , $log{request} , $log{file} \n\n $log{ident}\n";
        print OUT "$log{ip}\n"; # this is where it decides what to print to the optional logfile, you may want
                                             # to add $log{request} to show what they downloaded. 
}
close(LOGFILE);
close(OUT);

------------------


lol, very painfully written, as you can see.. but it works!

That should work fine till a log rotate happens and you download counts
and other data will reinitialize. You will need some cache mechanism or
a temporary file to append your results and use that for HTML generation.

Take a look at awstats and Analog Stats while you are exploring Webalizer.
