Website Overview Graphs

WebGraph is an auxiliary utility for website administrators that monitors website traffic and usage. It is meant to complete analysis provided by webalizer or analog. WebGraph nearly works in real-time and visualises usage and traffic of websites graphically.

WebGraph usually investigates the webserver logfiles every five minutes and will redraw graphs as needed. The generated graphs visualise daily, weekly, monthly and yearly usage and traffic. In addition to thes monthly overview graphs summarise the requests and traffic.

The data is stored in a Round Robin Database, thus data storage and graph generation is based on RRDtool by Tobi Oetiker. Therefore, daily graphs will contain useful content after half an hour. Weekly, monthly and yearly graphs require more input and may only be useful after several days or weeks.
