<h2>Using Goaccess to view web stats</h2>
<h3>2025-04-03</h3>
<h4>Using Goaccess locally</h4>
<p>I have goaccess installed on my laptop to view the web stats on a vps</p>
<p>First install Goaccess on Arch Linux</p>
<code>sudo pacman -S goaccess</code>
<p>View the remote stats (adjust the path for your actual log location)</p>
<code>ssh USER@SERVER 'zcat -f /var/log/nginx/access.log*' | goaccess -a --log-format=COMBINED</code>
<p>I've added an alias in my .bashrc :</p>
<code>alias stats="ssh USER@SERVER 'zcat -f /var/log/nginx/access.log*' | goaccess -a --log-format=COMBINED"</code>
