Topic: free web stats engine for IIS needed

[ober]

We have an internal IIS server here at work and while it is blessed by the IT department, they don't manage.  Hence, I'd like to know how much traffic is running through the server and how much bandwidth is being used.

I don't think the company cares that much right now, so I'd rather it be free if possible.  I just want some proof if I ever need to ask for an upgrade or a better server.

awstats requires a perl interpreter and a specific log file format.  I've used it to parse IIS logfiles, but the logfiles were downloaded to a bsd box before awstats analyzed them.  You should be able to run the web script under cgi and run perl locally though.

Perl is installed on the webserver, so I'm not worried about whether it is PHP or Perl based.

should work great for you then....

That's what I ended up using.  Webalizer was my first choice, but it was such a pain in the ass to install.
