I've been having some problems with some dodgy spiders accessing my
website and taking it down by overloading it. At the moment we use
analytics and awstats for stats, but it doesn't give a real time view
of who's accessing our website.
I found a command to run across the apache access file which will show
how many times an IP is logged in x lines of the log file.
tail -100000 access.log | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c |sort -nr
This is fine, but I'd like to setup a system to do this automatically,
something that would show me easily who the top IP's were for the last
hour/day (across 5 web servers).
I could do this with mysql, but it wouldn't grab all the image/js/css
accesses and if the website goes down (because of overloading) then
mysql would get bogged down and not log.
Can anyone think of a good way to do this? Is there a shell/perl
script that would do something like what I'm after?
Thanks in advance
Nick
