Uncluttered way to see which html files are viewed by whom?

[nvautier]

Log files have a lot of clutter.

CPanel has a slightly less cluttered view of the latest visitors, but it places as much emphasis on image files as it does the html files which is primarily what I care about.

Is there anything cheap out there that will highlight which html files were viewed, by whom, from where and for how long? e.g.

AOL Inc, USA (555.555.555.555)
from www.google.com
-Index.htm (6 images, 20 seconds)
-Page1.htm (8 images, 1 minute)

etc..

I have already tried SWStats, Nettracker Lite, Weblog Expert Lite & SmarterStats

This isn't the answer you're asking for but might help anyway. You could try filtering out server requests for images before putting your log files into an analysis program. For that matter, you can filter out requests for anything you consider to be clutter: .swf, .jpg, favicon.ico, whatever doesn't contribute to your traffic analysis.

If nothing else, this reduces file sizes and gives your analysis tool less muck to process for faster results. You can accomplish this any number of ways, such as with a DOS batch file or some Excel maneuvering, depending on the size of your logs.

Experiment with a couple days' logs and see if it makes a difference--a little preprocessing may be less work than finding a new solution.

It's not possible to tell how long a page or image was viewed for - only when it was requested, and when the next request was made!

Hey, I found pathalizer (http://pathalizer.sourceforge.net/) which is basically what I was looking for.

I use pathalizer myself, but I really don't see how it answers your original posting... ;)
