AWStats is a free web analytics reporting tool, suitable for analyzing data from Internet services such as web, mail and FTP servers. AWstats parses and analyzes server log files, producing HTML reports. Data is visually presented within reports by tables and bar graphs. Static reports can be created through a command line interface. On-demand reporting is supported through a web browser CGI program.
