AWStats on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

AWStats reads the log files a web, FTP or mail server already produces and renders them as a detailed, graphical statistics report. It reports unique visitors and visits, pages and hits, bandwidth consumed and visit duration, the pages people enter and leave on, the browsers and operating systems they use, the search engines and keywords that found them, the sites that referred them, the files they downloaded, the HTTP status codes they hit, and how much of the traffic is robots rather than people.

Because it analyses server logs rather than a tracking script, it needs no client side JavaScript, sets no cookies and sends nothing to a third party, so it counts every request including those from clients that block conventional analytics, and the data never leaves infrastructure you control. It suits anyone who wants honest traffic reporting they own outright: teams with a privacy or data residency requirement, operators who want to understand real server load and bandwidth alongside visitor numbers, and administrators reporting on servers whose logs are the only record of what happened.

Common uses

• Traffic reporting that stays entirely on infrastructure you own
• Analytics without tracking scripts, cookies or a third party service
• Understanding real server load, bandwidth and robot traffic from your logs
