[Web4lib] Open source or freeware web log analyzer?

[Will Kurt]

I've been using AWStats for a few years as well and really like 
it.  The thing it does fairly well is separate (as best it can) human 
requests from bots, spiders and other things that can give you an 
inaccurate sense of how your site is being used, I find it to be much 
more conservative then webalizer.  Webalizer claims that my average 
daily users is about 50% higher than the AWStats. In regards to 
traffic stats I find that the lower estimate is usually closer to 
reality. Additionally AWStats gives you just about every piece of 
information you would want about your traffic.  Of course there's no 
reason you have to choose just one :) multiple points of data never hurt.
