MetaLib 4 WWW Log Analyzer

A simple Perl script that analyzes the MetaLib WWW Server log. It can provide the following information:

  • Display the number of concurrent users (running status with tail -f)
  • Display the number of searches per hour (database searches and ejournal searches)
  • Display the number of concurrent users per hour (average and top)
  • Display the number of page requests
  • Display the number of page requests per hour
  • Display the number of www servers in use per hour (average and top)

The script reads the log from standard input so it can analyze the input continuosly (with tail -f) or in a batch (with cat).

Instructions

  • Download the package
  • Unpack it (tar -xf filename)
  • Make sure it's executable (chmod +x filename)
  • Check perl path and change it if necessary (the first line of the file). Our installation is at m4_3 so you may need to change it to m4_2 or something else.
  • Run the program without parameters to see the available options.
    Note that log level INFO is required for all but reporting number of current users where STAT level is enough. The level is controlled via log_level setting in www_server.conf.

Known Issues

  • Counting of requests is broken
