GoAccess is an open source real-time Apache/Nginx log analyzer tool and interactive viewer that runs in a command-line.
It provides fast and valuable HTTP statistics for system administrators that require a visual server report on the fly. GoAccess will collect data from the parsed log and it will display it to the console or the X terminal. The collected information or generated reports will be displayed to the user/sysadmin in a visual/interactive window.
