Solution
The are lots of tools for generating statistical information about the usage of your webserver. In the lubby project we use the analog tool to do the job. Analog is web server log file analyser. It is designed to be fast and produces attractive statistics. It is configured through its configuration file /etc/analog.cfg or via command line options.
Once configured (you have to tell analog which logfile it should take for the information) you can call it from the command line.
