Intrache


Log analyzer & report generator for Intranets running on Apache web server
Version 1.0 October 25, 2000
Ó2000 Vinod L. Hingorani.
Released on October 25, 2000 under GPL with source code.

Description

Intrache is a log analyzer for Intranets where all the pages and workstations (PCs) are known entities. It is tailored for the widely used Apache web browser and has been tested on versions 1.3.3 and 1.3.6 running on Linux (RedHat & Suse) and Solaris 2.6. Please note that this requires fixed IP addresses for all workstations (PCs). If you modify it for DHCP, update the author.

To make it truly portable & platform independent, it was written in ANSI C using only the basic I/O libraries. This has made the user interface a bit primitive, but it does the work nevertheless. The menus are self-explanatory.

Intrache can create reports for:

  • Specific workstation IP, All known pages
  • Specific workstation IP, Specific page
  • Specific page, All known workstation IP's
  • Specific page, Specific workstation IP
  • All known workstation IP's, All known pages - Total hits
  • All known workstation IP's, All known pages - Workstation-wise break up
  • All known workstation IP's, Specific page - Workstation-wise break up

Reports are generated in tab-delimited text file format or in an HTML format or can be viewed on screen.

In addition, you can ping the PCs from Intrache to check connectivity. This can be useful in a Intranet Kiosk-workstation scenario.
