# Zope/Plone usage statistics

Since a Zope access log (Z2.log) has the same format as an Apache access log, Apache log analyzers will probably work for Zope/Plone too. I have tried [AWStats](awstats.sourceforge.net) and [Webalizer](http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/) and they both worked w/o needing to set anything special. I prefer Webalizer because:

- It’s fast. (We have a 700 MB log. Webalizer took 70 seconds but AWStats took 10+ minutes.)
- It’s easy to use. (No configuration was needed in my case.)
- Output is in the form of a bunch of static files (<span class="caps">HTML</span>, <span class="caps">PNG</span>), so no need to set up a <span class="caps">CGI</span> script just to view the stat.
