Remind me of this cool project called netdata[0], also written in C. [0] - https://github.com/firehol/netdata https://github.com/firehol/netdata

  I've used both. GoAccess tends to be more useful to me when I have a set of log files and want to track down something specific to the web server config. That's particularly handy when working on a server I'm not already familiar with, or when I have logs but no access to the server, since I don't have to run GoAccess on the server itself. It's also the only IIS log analyzer I bother using. netdata is more useful for tracking live stats across live servers that I'm actively maintaining (especially multiple servers), and pulls a broader set of information from more sources, which is handier for tracking down intermittent networking issues. They can both do a little bit of each other's job, which is nice. I tend to use GoAccess more often but think they're both pretty good tools for visualizing server data.

    I am having the hardest time getting goaccess to work with the IIS 8.0 W3C logs. It keeps on complaining about the date / time format. What is your secret sauce?

      Try uncommenting the relevant date/time/log formats from your goaccess.conf. Then run goaccess -f access.log -p /path/goaccess.conf Or https://gist.github.com/soheilpro/a34957550b1bd7d42be2 https://gist.github.com/soheilpro/a34957550b1bd7d42be2
