are enough people who have interest in this to make it worth it. [Or
if this already exists and I just haven't found it]
zope's logs are in a pretty standard format so most of your loganalyzers
should handle them well and several of them can be customized to ignore
certain ips or urls.
Of course. I'm actually parsing Apache logs on my own site, as this
covers both the Zope and non-Zope portions of my page. The basic
analysis isn't Zope-specific, just more Zope-accessible. For
instance, hits are returned as a list of page/count pairs, and then
you can format then as you wish with DTML.
Any of these things that I've done could be done by other log
analyzers, and I expect they have been. They could probably be done
better: the real advantage of what I'm doing (in my own experience) is
that I have a fair amount of control to do whatever I want, not just
what was included in the software. Anyone who knows some Python would
be able to have a similar amount of control.
i've been told that http://www.webalizer.org/ is pretty nice.
a zope web logs analyzer that makes images with PIL integrated into the
control panel, is on my list of things to do although its pretty low at
the moment.
I hadn't been thinking of using PIL myself -- though it would be
relatively easy, I suppose, to add another layer that creates graphs
from the (relatively) raw data.
