About GoAccess

GoAccess is an open-source web log analyzer for understanding traffic and server activity from existing access logs. It runs in a terminal on Unix-like systems and can generate a live HTML dashboard, making it useful for administrators who work over SSH or want a browser-based overview. Reports cover visits, requested pages, bandwidth, response times, referring sites, and HTTP status codes.

To get started, point GoAccess at a log file and select its format. It supports common Apache and Nginx formats, cloud service logs, and custom formats. You can follow incoming requests in real time, inspect busy hosts and bots, export JSON or CSV, and preserve parsed data for incremental analysis. The software runs on your own infrastructure under the MIT license.
