[ale] Using access_logs to get counter info

[Gary Maltzen]

To count the number of lines containing the phrase "images/patman.gif":

  grep "images/patman.gif" /var/log/httpd/access_log | wc -l

To do this for all access logs (without compressed logs)

  grep "images/patman.gif" /var/log/httpd/access_log* | wc -l

To do this for all access logs (compressed logs)

  (grep "images/patman.gif" /var/log/httpd/access_log & \
  zgrep "images/patman.gif" /var/log/httpd/access_log*gz) | \
  wc -l

> I am running Apache 1.3.9 on Redhat 6.1, and wanted to use my access_logs
> to keep a count of how many times certain files in specific directories
> show up as being accessed in the access_logs.  I have a few webpages with
> lots of photos on them, and would like to find a way to see how many hits
> I get for each page of photos (which are sorted and placed in different
> directories per page).
