Introduction

MKstats is a complete log-analysis solution, meaning that it takes all of your server log files and gives you back comprehensive, meaningful reports that will help you analyze your web site traffic. There are other log-analysis programs available on Internet, but MKStats stands apart from the rest of the crowd for a number of reasons:
Processes access_log, agent_log, error_log, and referer_log for a complete analysis of your site's activity
Can read the Common Log Format, Extended Log Format, and FTP log files
Records all compiled statistics so you can erase or compress your log files without losing information
Remembers its position in each log file, so you can process the same log many times without worrying about re-reading the same lines, causing incorrect numbers
Can be run by any user - no special privelages needed (except read-rights to the log files)
Unique plug-in reports allow easy customization. Simply create a routine to generate a report you need, save it to the correct directory, and it will automatically be integrated into the reports
Ability to place a header and footer on each report page, as well as control the <BODY> statement to easily customize the way your reports look
Can be run with different configurations and for multiple users using separate configuration files. Great for ISP's
Comprehensive reports give you specific information and summaries in an easy-to-read manner.
Can be set to resolve IP addresses to domain names automatically
File and routine format allows for easy customization and expansion
Written in Perl 5, which means no compilation problems and it can be run on almost any system without any problems
Will work perfectly on Windows 95/NT


MKStats is easily to install, easy to configure, and gives you the information you want to know in the way you want to see it. It was designed from the very beginning to be what people want, not just a mess of numbers and percentages that any programmer can extract from countless log files.
