Existing utilities for monitoring apache logs didn’t suit me, so I’ve decided to create a tool for monitoring apache log files remotely via a browser. The aim was to create a very small application that just do the job: show the last visits to a website and nothing more. The tool is called ALiveLog (Apache Live Log): you can monitor multiple websites hosted on the same server through a single ALiveLog installation. Regarding security, the script performs only read operations (reading the last N entries from access.log files). The server side script is written in Perl, but can be easily ported to PHP as well.
