apercu

Apercu is a remarkable command-line application that allows you to summarize valuable information from Apache logs. With Apercu, you can easily retrieve hit counts, requests, referrers, and user activity from Apache logs in a matter of seconds. The application provides you with a clear and concise summary of the logs that you can quickly read and work with.

One of the best features of Apercu is its ability to generate example outputs of the hits. For instance, by running the apercu --count --time=thisweek command, you get a summary of the number of hits this week. A table is displayed that indicates the number of hits by their respective year, month, day, and time. This feature saves you time and effort in determining the count.

Additionally, Apercu facilitates the extraction of user data by providing a user profile that shows their hostname, user agent, referrer, and activities. The profile is displayed in a uniform format that clearly indicates the time since the user's first hit, the status of the request, and the resource that was requested. The apercu --users --time=today command allows you to retrieve user profiles from Apache logs that have been created or modified today.

Overall, Apercu stands out from other similar applications by providing an easy-to-use interface that facilitates the analysis and summary of Apache logs. The tool is a must-have for developers, webmasters, and system administrators who need to retrieve valuable data from Apache logs quickly and efficiently.
