Apache Log Analyzer 2 Feed¶

<img src="http://www.simonecarletti.com/static/images/logo/apachelog2feed.png" align="left" />
ApacheLogAnalyzer2Feed is a really powerful open source PHP 5 class to parse and analyze Apache Web Server log files.
Analysis results are converted into a feed to let users subscribe with a feed reader.

You can define custom filters based on logs data — for instance User-Agent, IP, requested page... — and combine them to select just a limited resultset.
The class can easily be extended with additional filters and custom feed handlers.

A quick example¶

Would you like to be informed each time GoogleBot visits your website?
Would you like to receive a ping each time an user visits a specific URL of your site?
ApacheLogAnalyzer2Feed is the solution!

ApacheLogAnalyzer2Feed will analyze server logs for you and create a custom feed. You'll be able to track Googlebot directly from your feed reader.

ApacheLogAnalyzer2Feed is an easy-to-use object oriented class, written in PHP 5, for parsing/filtering an Apache log file and consuming the results with a feed reader.

I created this project as a technical example for my speech at Search Engine Strategies 2007 in Milano, session RSS, Blogs & Search Marketing.
My goal was to demonstrate an alternative use of feeds, showing how RSS and Atom feeds can make SEO life easier.
