Yaalr is Yet Another Apache Log Reader. Its a perl script that reads an Apache access log file and outputs either a report on the command line or an html page with a graph. Yaalr is actively developed and there is a release available below. Note that the graphing version of Yaalr is only available through the subversion repository at the moment since it has not gone through sufficient testing for release yet. A formal release should happen within the next few months or weeks. Currently Yaalr supports three types of Apache logs: common, combined, and combined with cookies. These formats are all available now.

To get Yaalr with graphing powers use this command from the command line:

svn co http://yaalr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/yaalr/yaalr_web yaalr_web

• create an easy to use Apache access log reader
• give you an accurate understanding of your web site's visitors
• allow you to control your web traffic analysis and
  not have to share it with a third party

Yaalr is licensed under the GPL, because freedom is important.

March 2008:Yaalr 1.0 is now available! Download at your leisure.

July 2007: In the subversion repository there is a new version of Yaalr that outputs a graph using the GD::Graph tool found on CPAN. You will also need the Template Toolkit, which is a great perl module. There will be more information regarding this version of Yaalr shortly as it gets tested, it is still a little raw.

May 2007: We have the first release of Yaalr available. Get it, test it, and complain! :^) Download it here!

Mar 2007: The first pre-beta yaalr is available.

There are big plans for Yaalr. :-)

Firstly, the web site is going to be updated to better organize the site since this page is becoming a little crowded. I also would like to add a demo page and much more information. Work to turn Yaalr into a CPAN module has already begun, but I am always going to support a small Yaalr script that does not need modules from CPAN because sometimes that is just what one needs. I am also interested in integrating some other perl modules into the Yaalr module, like the W3C log validator. Any requests or feedback is welcome.
