Website log parser

pacbowl

Does anyone know of a program (preferrably free) that will open an access log for a website, parse the data and give info about the referrer, most looked at/linked to pages, files, etc...? I can read the raw data log manually but that gets tiresome. My host provides Urchin but it doesn't show a lot of the info I'm looking for. I've looked all over but can't seem to find any stand-alone programs and I don't know if all access logs are in the same format, if I need a program that will read this specific format, etc...

Here's how my log files look. The filenames go like access.21Dec2006
and here are a few lines from within the log

Having not really looked too hard at types of logfiles, I can't say for sure what format that is, however, I know there are some standards, such as the "Common Logfile Format".
There's a nice, free app called the Webalizer that may work for you. This is something that runs on the webserver, though, so I'm not sure if it would be what you're looking for.

There's also another engine called AWStats that does much the same thing, just looks a lot different. I run both on a website I own, and they're both very easy to understand and work with. AWStats definitely has more eye candy though.
