GoAccess is a real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install GoAccess on Void Linux.
Before you start the installation process, you need to make sure that your system is up-to-date, to do so execute:
sudo xbps-install -Suy
To install GoAccess, execute the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Sy goaccess
To start using GoAccess, you need to provide it with a log file, for example:
goaccess /var/log/nginx/access.log
This command will analyze the nginx access log file and display the report in the terminal. You can also generate an HTML report by adding the -o option followed by the name of the HTML file:
goaccess /var/log/nginx/access.log -o report.html
You can then view the report in a web browser by opening the report.html file.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install GoAccess on Void Linux and how to use it to analyze log files. GoAccess is a powerful tool that can help you to better understand your web traffic and infrastructure.
