Need script program to compile & report Webalizer stats on many sites

Can someone please help me with this?

[trader]

We have a network of websites all running on a colocated dedicated server using Cobalt Linux system, and running a control panel called Direct Admin and Webalizer stats package, which came with the server.

My problem is it's far too much work to run Webalizer stats on all the sites since each one needs its own individual login, usrname and paswrd. Of course that would be extremely time consuming and very annoying to do on hundreds of websites!

Is there any possible way to run some kind of an automatic script kind of program that could output all the indidual stats on a regular basis to an alphabetical list, with the important stats shown seperately per site, and also a combined total? That sure would be a Godsend.

If such a program already exists I would love to get it. But would also be willing to pay a programmer to write the code too. Please help!

Can anyone help? Surely someone must know how to do this or suggest a script programmer?

Once again this forum has been disappointing in that there has been no reposne at all. Not sure why. Perhaps the forum does not really have that many active members, or is not well targeted toward my issues. Unfortunately, this has also happened before in other threads. Now I go hunting for a new forum who can offer some help or feedback.

P.S. Would becoming a paid member help getting replies?

This is a great question. I could use the same thing

Hi trader
I know you seem a bit sore that no-one has replied, so here's my view on it...

I posted a question about Webalizer 4 months ago - my Webalizer summary summarises the top "n" of each category and I wanted more. I asked for help and got none.

Armed with the Webalizer source code and the knowledge that I had a webalizer.current file that I couldn't see, I produced some Java code to do the crunching I wanted. I'm pleased with what it does, but the GUI is still a bit clunky when it runs my Mac.

I'm not able to do the code that you want, and I suspect that one reason no-one is offering is that it's a large job, and therefore a really expensive one.

Maybe your Webalizer can be set up better - mine runs in a Browser which stores my password and username (rather than in FTP), so it should be simple for someone to write an Applescript to automate it all.

Maybe now I've tabled a bit more discussion, someone else will read your post, but the other thing I find about the backwater forums like this is that I only read them once a week - others may do the same - there's otherwise simply too much to read!

trader, I read your question a number of times and couldn't make sense of it.

On our servers, webalizer is run automatically by cron.daily and generates individual reports for all websites, each in it's own (password-protected) directory.

DerekH, In the webalizer configuration file you can set various options that will give you acces to ALL referers, sites, files accessed, etc. The file is located (in Linux) at /etc/webalizer.conf. You can also nominate your own config file when calling webalizer, using the -c option.

Have you tried posting something on source-forge's forum? As far as i'm aware that's where webalizer is from, as it's freeware.

Hi dcrombie

DerekH, In the webalizer configuration file

I can see what you're saying. I'm on a virtual host where things are preconfigured for me, which is why I can only see the daily and monthly files plus webalizer.current - they're in a directory I can access (but not list!), whereas the Unix files you mention are out of my grasp.

Not that I'm dissatisfied with what I ended up doing - a bit of Java and an Excel spreadsheet give me searchable lists of all the parameters I wanted.
Best regards
DerekH
