Sophisticated log analyser?

Looking for an advanced free tool

[Scooter24]

I'd like to get a (daily) statistic of how many pages visitors of my site view, something like

1 page: # or % visitors
2-4 pages: ...
5-10: ....
10-40: ....
50+: ....

All this based on the access log file.

I also need a statistic over the duration of each session, a session being defined as a sequence of requests from one IP address with max 1-2 minutes between individual requests.

And to top it all I'd also like to extract the search terms from the search engine referrers (get a complete list of search items).

Need all this to better understand why people visit my site and what they do.

Webalizer won't give you this kind of detail. I also can't pay lots of money on a commercial product, as I don't get revenue from my site.

I think all this could be done with a PHP script which scans the lines of the access log file and generates a report. I could write such a tool myself, but maybe somebody has already thought about this issue and written a tool.

I'm a recent convert to Sawmill. It's really detailed I think it would suit you just fine.

You'll have to search though as I don't hve the url to hand...

No, WebTrends never had a real interest in, or understanding of search engines or SEM :)
