goaccess: Use a specific log-format (or pre-defined formats like "combined").

goaccess

$ goaccess ${path-to-logfile} --log-format=${format}

try on your machine

This command is using the GoAccess tool to analyze a specific log file.

Here's what each part of the command means:

goaccess: This is the command to run the GoAccess tool.
${path-to-logfile}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the log file you want to analyze. You need to replace ${path-to-logfile} with the actual path in the command.
--log-format=${format}: This is another placeholder for the log format you want to use. The --log-format flag specifies the format of the log file. You need to replace ${format} with the actual log format you want to use. The log format defines how the log data is structured, such as which fields are included (e.g., timestamp, IP address, HTTP method, etc.). GoAccess supports various log formats, such as Apache Common, Apache Combined, Nginx, Amazon S3, and many more. You need to choose the appropriate log format for your log file.

By running this command with the correct log file path and log format, GoAccess will parse and analyze the log file, providing you with interactive and real-time analytics on things like website traffic, visitors, bandwidth usage, response codes, and more.
