NAME
webalizer - A web server log file analysis tool.
SYNOPSIS
webalizer [ option ... ] [ log-file ]
webazolver [ option ... ] [ log-file ]
DESCRIPTION
The Webalizer is a web server log file analysis program which produces
usage statistics in HTML format for viewing with a browser. The
results are presented in both columnar and graphical format, which
facilitates interpretation. Yearly, monthly, daily and hourly usage
statistics are presented, along with the ability to display usage by
site, URL, referrer, user agent (browser), username, search strings,
entry/exit pages, and country (some information may not be available
if not present in the log file being processed).
The Webalizer supports CLF (common log format) log files, as well as
Combined log formats as defined by NCSA and others, and variations of
these which it attempts to handle intelligently. In addition, the
Webalizer supports xferlog formatted (FTP) log files, squid proxy logs
and W3C extended format logs. Logs may also be compressed, via gzip
(.gz) or, if enabled at compile time, bzip2 (.bz2). If a compressed
log file is detected, it will be automatically uncompressed while it
is read. Compressed logs must have the standard gzip extension of .gz
or bzip2 extension of
webazolver is normally just a symbolic link to the Webalizer. When
run as webazolver, only DNS file creation/updates are performed, and
the program will exit once complete. All normal options and
configuration directives are available, however many will not be used.
In addition, a DNS cache file must be specified. If the number of DNS
children processes to use are not specified, the webazolver will
default to 5.
This documentation applies to The Webalizer Version 2.23
RUNNING THE WEBALIZER
The Webalizer was designed to be run from a Unix command line prompt
or as a crond(8) job. Once executed, the general flow of the program
is:
o A default configuration file is scanned for. A file named
webalizer.conf is searched for in the current directory, and
if found, it's configuration data is parsed. If the file is
not present in the current directory, the file
/etc/webalizer.conf is searched for and, if found, is used
instead.

o Any command line arguments given to the program are parsed.
This may include the specification of a configuration file,
which is processed at the time it is encountered.
o If a log file was specified, it is opened and made ready for
processing. If no log file was given, STDIN is used for
input. If the log filename '-' is specified, STDIN will be
forced.
o If an output directory was specified, the program does a
chdir(2) to that directory in preparation for generating
output. If no output directory was given, the current
directory is used.
o If a non-zero number of DNS Children processes were specified,
they will be started, and the specified log file will be
processed, creating or updating the specified DNS cache file.
o If no hostname was given, the program attempts to get the
hostname using a uname(2) system call. If that fails,
localhost is used.
o A history file is searched for in the current directory
(output directory) and read if found. This file keeps totals
for previous months, which is used in the main index.html HTML
document. Note: The file location can now be specified with
the HistoryName configuration option.
o If incremental processing was specified, a data file is
searched for and loaded if found, containing the 'internal
state' data of the program at the end of a previous run.
Note: The file location can now be specified with the
IncrementalName configuration option.
o Main processing begins on the log file. If the log spans
multiple months, a separate HTML document is created for each
month.
o After main processing, the main index.html page is created,
which has totals by month and links to each months HTML
document.
o A new history file is saved to disk, which includes totals
generated by The Webalizer during the current run.
o If incremental processing was specified, a data file is
written that contains the 'internal state' data at the end of
this run.

INCREMENTAL PROCESSING
The Webalizer supports incremental run capability. Simply put, this
allows processing large log files by breaking them up into smaller
pieces, and processing these pieces instead. What this means in real
terms is that you can now rotate your log files as often as you want,
and still be able to produce monthly usage statistics without the loss
of any detail. Basically, The Webalizer saves and restores all
internal data in a file named webalizer.current. This allows the
program to 'start where it left off' so to speak, and allows the
preservation of detail from one run to the next. The data file is
placed in the current output directory, and is a plain ASCII text file
that can be viewed with any standard text editor. It's location and
name may be changed using the IncrementalName configuration keyword.
Some special precautions need to be taken when using the incremental
run capability of The Webalizer. Configuration options should not be
changed between runs, as that could cause corruption of the internal
data stored. For example, changing the MangleAgents level will cause
different representations of user agents to be stored, producing
invalid results in the user agents section of the report. If you need
to change configuration options, do it at the end of the month after
normal processing of the previous month and before processing the
current month. You may also want to delete the webalizer.current file
as well.
The Webalizer also attempts to prevent data duplication by keeping
track of the timestamp of the last record processed. This timestamp
is then compared to current records being processed, and any records
that were logged previous to that timestamp are ignored. This, in
theory, should allow you to re-process logs that have already been
processed, or process logs that contain a mix of processed/not yet
processed records, and not produce duplication of statistics. The
only time this may break is if you have duplicate timestamps in two
separate log files... any records in the second log file that do have
the same timestamp as the last record in the previous log file
processed, will be discarded as if they had already been processed.
There are lots of ways to prevent this however, for example, stopping
the web server before rotating logs will prevent this situation. This
setup also necessitates that you always process logs in chronological
order, otherwise data loss will occur as a result of the timestamp
compare.
REVERSE DNS LOOKUPS
The Webalizer fully supports IPv4 and IPv6 DNS lookups, and maintains
a cache of those lookups to reduce processing the same addresses in
subsequent runs. The cache file can be created at run-time, or may be
created before running the webalizer using either the stand alone
'webazolver' program, or The Webalizer (DNS) Cache file manager
program 'wcmgr'. In order to perform reverse lookups, a DNSCache file
- 3 - Formatted: October 25, 2025
webalizer(1) Version 2.23 webalizer(1)
The Webalizer The Webalizer
26-Feb-2013
must be specified, either on the command line or in a configuration
file. In order to create/update the cache file at run-time, the
number of DNSChildren must also be specified, and can be anything
between 1 and 100. This specifies the number of child processes to be
forked, each of which will perform network DNS queries in order to
lookup up the addresses and update the cache. Cached entries that are
older than a specified TTL (time to live) will be expired, and if
encountered again in a log, will be looked up at that time in order to
'freshen' them (verify the name is still the same and update its
timestamp). The default TTL is 7 days, however may be set to anything
between 1 and 100 days. Using the 'wcmgr' program, entries may also
be marked as 'permanent', in which case they will persist (with an
infinite TTL) in the cache until manually removed. See the file
DNS.README for additional information and examples.
GEOLOCATION LOOKUPS
The Webalizer has the ability to perform geolocation lookups on IP
addresses using either it's own internal GeoDB database, or
optionally the GeoIP database from MaxMind, Inc. (www.maxmind.com).
If used, unresolved addresses will be searched for in the database and
its country of origin will be returned if found. This actually
produces more accurate Country information than DNS lookups, since the
DNS address space has additional gcTLDs that do not necessarily map to
a specific country (such as .net and .com). It is possible to use
both DNS lookups and geolocation lookups at the same time, which will
cause any addresses that could not be resolved using DNS lookups to
then be looked up in the database, greatly reducing the number of
Unknown/Unresolved entries in the generated reports. The native GeoDB
geolocation database provided by The Webalizer fully supports both
IPv4 and IPv6 lookups, is updated regularly and is the preferred
geolocation method for use with The Webalizer. The most current
version of the database can be obtained from our ftp site
(ftp://ftp.mrunix.net/).
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
The Webalizer supports many different configuration options that will
alter the way the program behaves and generates output. Most of these
can be specified on the command line, while some can only be specified
in a configuration file. The command line options are listed below,
with references to the corresponding configuration file keywords.
General Options
-h Display all available command line options and exit program.
-v Be verbose. Will cause the program to output informational
and Debug messages at run-time.

CONFIGURATION FILES
Configuration files are standard ASCII(7) text files that may be
created or edited using any standard editor. Blank lines and lines
that begin with a pound sign ('#') are ignored. Any other lines are
considered to be configuration lines, and have the form "Keyword
Value", where the 'Keyword' is one of the currently available
configuration keywords defined below, and 'Value' is the value to
assign to that particular option. Any text found after the keyword up
to the end of the line is considered the keyword's value, so you
should not include anything after the actual value on the line that is
not actually part of the value being assigned. The file sample.conf
provided with the distribution contains lots of useful documentation
and examples as well.
General Configuration Keywords
