Tommi 🤯

In today’s prototyping class at @xpub we have been looking at Nginx logs live.

It is CRAZY to see the actual amount of bot connecting to our website and our wiki 😱🤬

I decided not to use any analytics on my website a while ago already, but I am wondering if it exist an Internet traffic measurement tool based exclusively on information from Nginx logs?

I would gladly prefer something simple that stays in the terminal, but I would not mind installing something that can be also publicly accessible (like Grafana).

@tommi @xpub I'm not using nginx, but my caddy sends its logs to a little tool that inserts these logs into a PostgreSQL database. I then created a view to filter out some known good bot traffic and calculate stats from that in a Grafana dashboard.

That thing is after Iocaine, so there is not too much logging.
