AWStats is a free powerful and featureful tool that generates advanced web,
ftp or mail server statistics, graphically. This log analyzer works as a CGI or
from command line and shows you all possible information your log contains, in
few graphical web pages. It uses a partial information file to be able to
process large log files, often and quickly.
