Web Log Analyzer
On several projects, I’ve had the need to analyzer a large amount of Web Log data. Sometimes, I need to generate reports and other times, I need to incorporate the results into data that I can analyze in code.
This project has been something that I have built upon over time. Originally, my goal was to be able to analyze many GB of data effeciently in a small amount of memory and I wanted to be able to query the results using LINQ.
Later, I added a WPF user interface that allows users to very efficiently (in real-time) filter and summarize the data, including:
- All requests
- Statistics by time period, status code, extension, page type, server, user and URL
- Time-taken distribution
- Counts for unique URLs, pages, users
Results can be saved to Excel 2007 or Comma-Separated Value files.
This has become an indespensible tool in my toolbox for diagnostics and development.
