Peastat - a simple, free, 'live' web stats analyser.

Peastat works differently to other web stats tools: it looks at the last chunk of your log file to create real-time summaries of recent user activity. What you lose in trend analysis - which you're probably already getting from Analog/Webalizer/AWStats/Urchin - you gain in focus on what your users are doing right now.

Installation
1. Configure the 'logfile' and 'rooturl' values
2. Upload peastat.py somewhere it can be executed on your web server (e.g. your cgi-bin)
3. Make peastat.py executable (set its permissions to 755)

Usage
• Point your browser to http://yoursite/cgi-bin/peastat.py
• Point your Atom-enabled newsreader to http://yoursite/cgi-bin/peastat.py?atom=true
Here are some key features of "Peastat":

  • Simple - application, instructions and configuration are included in one file. No database required.
  • Free and open source
  • Atom 1.0 support - monitor recent activity through your newsreader
  • Referrer tracking, with search engine query analysis
  • Simple path analysis
  • Cached DNS lookups
  • No need for JavaScript bugs or PHP includes.

    What's New:
  • Stop rewarding referrer spam
  • Simple AJAX library for future use
  • Handle user agents whose names include escaped quotes
  • Recognise Yahoo searches
  • Handle URLs with ampersands correctly
  • Time execution of the overview screen
