Despite the emphasis on goaccess’s visual mode, keep in mind that “ While the terminal output is the default output, it has the capability to generate a complete, self-contained real-time HTML report (great for analytics, monitoring and data visualization)”. It was a great replacement for my aging webalizer setup which in turn had been replaced by google analytics.
This is for a personal site and at some point I realized I cared less about having those very detailed google metrics (which I never checked anyway) than about making my site more responsive and less invasive. I nixed google analytics and haven’t looked back; still have basic metrics thanks to goaccess.
