I am currently using Awstats, and have used others such as Webalizer etc.

However, does anyone know of any software (preferably free and Linux based) that can parse Apache logs, and give me detailed information about views from a specific IP address?

I have used grep from the command line, but without parsing the results, is giving me far too much info - so before I go re-inventing the wheel with perl / shell scripts and awk / cut / grep etc. does anybody have any suggestions?

My log files are in Apache 'combined' format.

TIA.

grep out the jpgs and image files and the session becomes far more readable. (grep -v jpg).

right now it looks a mess because you have the images coming through in the log extract, so if you lose that, and only show the html/asp/whatever files, you can see what the user was up to more clearly.
