SYNOPSIS

       webdruid [ option ... ] [ log-file1 ] [ log-file2 ] ...

       webdruid-resolve [ option ... ] [ log-file1 ] [ log-file2 ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  WebDruid  is  a  web site log file analysis program which produces
       usage statistics in HTML  format  for  viewing  with  a  browser.   The
       results  are  presented  in  both  columnar and graphical format, which
       facilitates interpretation.  Yearly, monthly, daily  and  hourly  usage
       statistics  are  presented,  along with the ability to display usage by
       site, URL, referrer, user agent (browser),  username,  search  strings,
       entry/exit  pages,   and country (some information may not be available
       if not present in the log file being processed).

       The WebDruid supports CLF (common log format) log  files,  as  well  as
       Combined  log  formats as defined by NCSA and others, and variations of
       these which it attempts to  handle  intelligently.   In  addition,  the
       WebDruid  also  supports  W3C formatted log files, allowing it to parse
       IIS log files.  Logs may also be compressed, via gzip.  If a compressed
       log file is detected, it will be automatically uncompressed while it is
       read.  Compressed logs must have the standard gzip extension of .gz.

       The WebDruid, when used with  the  graphviz  tools,  can  produce  path
       graphs  and  users  flow  graphs.  Path  graph  allows  you  to see the
       preferred path your users take when browsing on your  web  site.  Users
       flow  will draw lines between the urls, each line being balanced by the
       number of hits.  For more information see  ’Using  path  &  users  flox
       graphs’ in the README file.

       webdruid-resolve  is  normally  just a symbolic link to webdruid.  When
       run as webdruid-resolve, only DNS file creation/updates are  performed,
       and  the  program  will  exit  once  complete.   All normal options and
       configuration directives are available, however many will not be  used.

       The  WebDruid  main  documentation  is  located in the README file.  It
       contains instructions on operating with the  software,  as  well  as  a
       reference   for   all   the   /etc/webdruid/webdruid.conf  config  file
       directives, and command line options.
