"Live" Tracking under Apache

[Etruscan]

I'm fairly new to running Apache (using 2.0 under XP) and I'm wondering if there is a way (or a program) to get a "snapshot" of users/bots currently online. Is there?

mod_status?

If it's a Linux server, you can use tail to check the latest lines from the access log.

ie:

tail access ¦ grep "googlebot"

Or, again under Linux, if you just want to know how many connections are currently active use netstat.

ie:

netstat -na ¦ grep ^tcp ¦ wc -l

Check the man pages for further information on what these commands do.
