Hi,

at the recent Osaka meeting we discussed with Tyler OSGeo Marketing
strategies. An obvious data source are the Web site logs. I can provide
grass.itc.it Apache logs from 2002 onwards which might be a valuable
resource to explore. Since awstats will accept all files in the logs/
directory, those files will just be processed as well.

Additionally, access might be lost to grass.itc.it from Jan 2008 onwards,
so I suggest to copy files over in any case.

File sizes: 2.2GB in approx 330 files (access, error and referer split).

This reminds me that we barely keep a few weeks of apache logs for www.osgeo.org. I would like to be keeping all logs, but am not sure how/who can help change the apache settings for this.

Any pointers?

I think that the "logrotate" package is responsible:
cat /etc/logrotate.conf
...
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
...

Something like this...

How did you manage to keep your logs under control for so long? Did you have a good archiving strategy we could share?

No, no special strategy. Just RAID disks and good luck :slight_smile:
The GRASS ML archives I was copying from time to time into
a different country.

Comment (by neteler):

(Un)related to this ticked, I would like to ask for Web statistics for
grass.osgeo.org:

http://download.osgeo.org/logs-bin/awstats.pl?config=grass.osgeo.org

Apparently it needs "only" the awstats config file which could be cloned
from an existing setup.

thanks,
Markus
