This can be seen in the Hosts (IP) report where you can see 1 page and 1 hit or 2 pages and 2 hits etc against a Host/IP. Typically they will fetch a sites root/home page html file and noting else. I have noticed an increasing number of bad robots that don't identify themselves as robots. Implement these 3 parameters and I can make my Awstats come in agreement with other traffic measuring software. Minimum traffic of a visit to consider that visit real (human) and not a bot. Minimum ratio between hits and pages in a visit to consider a visit real (human) and not a bot. Minimum number of Hits required to consider a visit real (human) and not a bot.
So my request is to allow me to set in the config files some parameters based on which AWstats should count what is a real visit and what is a bot. If I eliminate these visits from those counted by Awstats, then Awstats statistics are in agreement with those of Google Analytics or Matomo. So if you see a visit which is 1 page, 1 hit and 10KB in traffic, you know that's not a real visit and probably a bot. Why are these bots obvious, because most modern websites, including mine, have multiple files loaded upon a visit, you have a bunch of CSS files, js files, and so on. There are lots of bots out there on the internet, that Awstats doesn't detect but which are obvious if you look at the List of Hosts.
Overall Awstats is in agreement with the others with one exception.
#Awstats public software
I have multiple software to monitor my website's traffic, all using various methods. However, it has a bit of trouble with bot detection. Overall I love Awstats for its simplicity.
#Awstats public update
AWStats also supports update of statistics which can be made from a web browser and not only from your scheduler, unlimited log file size, and split log files.A couple of previous issues relating to ths same problem are #59 and #137 neither of which have been addressed.ĭo we have any community members who are perl literate that would be willing to have a go at implementing this? AWStats can analyze a lot of log formats: Apache NCSA combined log files (XLF/ELF) or common (CLF), IIS log files (W3C), WebStar native log files and other web, proxy, wap or streaming servers log files (but also ftp or mail log files), AWStats works from command line and from a browser as a CGI (with dynamic filters capabilities for some charts).ĪWStats shows number of visits, number of unique visitors, visits duration and last visits, authenticated users, and last authenticated visits.
#Awstats public free
AWStats is a free software distributed under the GNU General Public License.ĪWStats works from the command line but also as a CGI, AWStats can work with all web hosting providers which allow Perl, CGI and log access. AWStats uses a partial information file to be able to process large log files, often and quickly.ĪWStats can analyze log files from all major server tools like Apache log files (NCSA combined/XLF/ELF log format or common/CLF log format), WebStar, IIS (W3C log format) and a lot of other web, proxy, wap, streaming servers, mail servers and some ftp servers. AWStats is a log analyzer that works as a CGI or from command line and shows all possible information user’s log contains, in few graphical web pages. AWStats is a free powerful and featureful tool that generates advanced web, streaming, ftp or mail server statistics.
