[v8.8.1] Sawmill – Universal log file analyzing & reporting tool

To run a website, you must clearly know the visitors and traffics relevant data (including visitor's stay time, location, operating system, web browser, browsed web pages, screen dimension, device type, etc.) of your site by analyzing the log file on your web server, in order to distinctly grasp the future development direction of Internet and your website. Instead of wasting time on manually going through the numerous traffic patterns and logs, you can use Sawmill to achieve this challenging job in a faster way with better results.

Sawmill is a universal and cross-platform log analysis and reporting system, supports the log files (especially the access log and boot log of Web servers, which are usually very big, containing millions of lines of visitor's tracking information) generated by almost any (800+) devices or applications. The data in the generated report can be rendered as bar charts, pie charts and line graphs, letting you visually understand the data statistics through charts.

Sawmill has a full range of log analysis abilities. It is able to quickly read the log file with large size via a variety of network transmission ways, then cuts the log file into pieces and stores them in its own back-end database for later constant analysis and comparison, so as to obtain the content meeting the needs of users. And, Sawmill's reporting system features hierarchical method, human readability, crossing links, relevance, and easy accessibility, which allow you to manage your websites more effectively.
