Thank you Jukka, I am familiar with awstats but I would also like to analyse information about actual mapserver actions, like "ḧow many zoom actions". Your tip is helpful because indeed I see a lot of mapserver actions in the requested url in the apache log file. Can I find the meaning of all the get variables somewhere in the mapserver documentation?
