apachelog is a nice python module for parsing log lines from apache. it works as a great base for doing your own analysis. http://code.google.com/p/apachelog/ http://code.google.com/p/apachelog/ It's based on this perl module: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/~peterhi/Apache-LogRegex http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/~peterhi/Apache-LogRegex To manage log files, use cronolog edit: I use cronolog to break up the logfiles daily and then I run a python script (which uses apachelog to handle the nasty parsing) to create a summary dictionary of parameters from that day. For example: {num_unique_ips:140, num_pageviews:532, ...} I pickle that dictionary and save it as a file. So every day has a raw log file and a "summary dictionary" file. To make plots I go through the summary files and unpickle them to extract the quantities of interest.
