I have been using Analog to analyze the logs of our Apache web server. While analog is quite powerful, I find it quite tedious to set it up correctly to get the information that you want.

My question is: Do you know any (perhaps more "modern") tools to analyze web server log files? Preferably these would be tools running on the web server machine itself, which in my case is a Debian Linux system.

I've been fairly happy with AWStats

They've got a demo page set up here for a quick example.

For completenesss, I'll also throw in a suggestion of Webalizer, although it's been a while since I used it last. (My more recent experience has been with the already-mentioned AWStats.

Maybe try out piwik its a Google Analytics clone that easy on the eyes, and has several plugins for adding additional functionality.

demo site can be found here: http://piwik.org/demo/index.php

I quite like http://www.summary.net/ - it costs, but a free 30 day demo is available.

I like AWStats a lot also, but if you are looking for another suggestion there is also a very modern log analyzer called Mint. It is not free, but the cost is very nominal, $30.

The interface is very sleek, similar to google analytics, but it runs locally and provides real-time statistics. Also, it has a huge list of plugins available.
