2 simple tools for log data analysis

Ways to obtain the log data

Most providers let you access logfiles in special folders named something like "logs".
Separate files are created either for each day or for each month, depending on the server settings.
Logfiles are created in text format. Past data is usually zip-archived.

Some providers don't make logdata available to their clients. They offer usage statistics made with simple web data analyzers instead. Because these statistics are not configurable and only show the top 10 or 30 results, you can only access mostly needless information.

In this case you can create your own logfiles. The Simple Log Writer is a script that allows you to do that.
