What I do is I have webtrends setup to read the logs. I created a directory
called logfiles, put the path from IIS into that directory for the given
domain, told Webtrends to go there to get the logs, told webtrends to set
the first page to default.htm and then tell my customers to go to
http://www.theirdomain.com/logfiles and behold up comes the logfiles in an
easy to read format for them.
If you want to see an example go to http://www.ipnp.net/logfiles and look at
my domain.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Off-topic: rec for web log/traffic analyzer
> (Folks here are usually more helpful than other places...)
>
> As a "boutique" ISP that specializes in webhosting, we would like to
> incorporate a log analysis/web traffic reporting feature for our customers
as an optional service (and incremental revenue source).
>
> Currently, we offer raw logs to our customers as an option and suggest
they use WebTrend or various shareware/freeware log analysis tools, but I
believe most of our customers are not that sophisticated and comfortable
with FTP'ing log files, running an analyzer, etc.
>
> I think the ideal tool would run on our server and through a web interface
allow users to see a nicely formatted report
> on their own website (based on virtual domain hosting).
>
> I have come across a few possibilities, but wanted to solicit input here.
>
> Commercial supported software is fine, as we have budgeted $500 - $1500,
but don't want to leap into very high-end, high-priced stuff.
>
> We run NT servers, so the tool should be available for NT (Linux/Unix is
not an option for us - "don't ask, don't tell...")
