@amapanda I was using #grok, but it's 6y unmaintained. To me #Loki is not an option, because when I tried to implement #awstats like stats in #prometheus (or loki) + grafana, the problem was the cardinality explosion based on path (even if you just bundle them by app or verb), or on client IP, or on user agent string (not that it makes any sense these days).

I'm thinking of writing a python script to export logs to a SQL db and use #grafana directly to do the queries against that.

Oops, since I'm now hosting the #BananaHackers download file manually instead of with Disroot's #Forgejo, it means I'll have to manually track the downloads as well (if I want to keep count) 😬

How does one do that? Is #awstats still a thing and does it work with nginx too? I also clear my logs once in a while so I'd ideally put these stats away somewhere first...

@gmknet Einer eurer Geldgeber schreibt euch vor, speziell #GoogleTagManager zur #Reichweitenmessung zu verwenden? Von sowas habe ich noch nie gehört. Darf ich fragen, wie der heißt? Google?

Man kann Besucherzahlen auch ganz ohne Tracker messen: indem man die Webserver-Logfiles analysiert. Dafür gibt es Freie Software. Ich verwende #AWstats und kann es empfehlen, obwohl es etwas altmodisch aussieht.
