Log analyzer

Hi,

My hosting plan provides me with the full logs for my website.
But they provide it as raw text.

All the popular log analyzer I found needed Perl, CGI and access to command-line.
My cheap plan only gives me PHP/MySQL, and no command-line access.

I understand I could install a php script that would log all my traffic again and display it nice. However that would be a waste of sql time, cpu and other, since the hosting company already logged everything needed.

Isn't there a tool out there that would help me analyze my logs, without having to use command-line?
I was think PHP could do it. Maybe a php script that open the logs as text, do some stuff, and display it nice.
Or maybe an actual windows application?

My site does not have high traffic, that's one thing not to worry about.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nathan

Never a good idea to try to analyse your logs on a live site. Run a cron job to pull them down to your workstation/ server in regular intervals and do analysis there.

There are planty of free and not so free analysers available, one good and popular is AWStats, another is Analog, Webalizer is third great analyser but I heard it is no more under active development.
