Log Viewer for Apache

Log Viewer for Apache is a simple, quick, and dirty parser for Apache Web Server log files with support of sorting and filtering. I wrote this tool because I simply could not find a simple log file viewer for Apache Server logs. Even the one linked to from the Apache website, a monstrosity written in Java, wouldn't load up for me.

Issues

  • Some user agents are erroneously tagged as being bots using the default settings. A bot is defined rather simplistically as being any user agent string containing any of the strings listed in the "bots" section of the settings window. Some users may wish to remove one or more of the trigger strings if they find that too many erroneous tags are being applied. Some of the troublesome trigger strings are:
    • http
    • MSN
    • Ask
