There are a bunch of Github "awesome software" lists.
One thing I haven't seen is someone categorize open source web traffic analytics into Client Side Analytics (via javascript) and Web Server Log analytics.
Since each approach drastically changes the data collected and reported.
- gen220 6y agoAre there any all-in-one-ish solutions that attempt to do both? i.e. collects both (or one of either) server logs and client side analytics, normalize them, etc.
- mxuribe 6y agoMatomo does provide an alternative to leverage web server log files (beyond the usual client side javascript)...using a python script: https://matomo.org/faq/log-analytics-tool/ https://matomo.org/faq/log-analytics-tool/ When i first migrated (my personal sites) away from GA, i was concerned about performance, so was considering using server logs, and stumbled upon this feature of matomo. The javascript approach ended up not being the performance issue that i thought it would be...so i never ended up using the python script...So your mileage may vary, but to your question, this does exist.
