GoAccess

Homepage

GoAccess is a TUI application that provides log analysis for various web server logs including Caddy.

Reading Caddy Logs

Make sure to turn on logging in caddy first then you can access the log files:

goaccess \
  --log-format=CADDY \
  --date-format="%F" \
filename.log 

If you find that you get errors about the datetime format or IPv4/6 is required try upgrading the version of your installation. As of writing the goaccess that ships with Ubuntu is too old to properly read caddy logs.

Docker Image and Realtime HTML Logs

tail -F git-access.log | docker \
  run -p 7890:7890 --rm -i \
  -e LANG=$LANG allinurl/goaccess \
  -a -o html \
  --log-format CADDY \
  --real-time-html - > report.html

open the report.html - make sure that the port is accessible. For example if you are running this on a remote server you can use ssh tunnelling to bind 7890 locally.

One liner to join all zipped and current logs

 ls -1 git-access*.log.gz | sort | xargs cat | gunzip | cat - git-access.log > cat.log
