GoAccess is an open-source, real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer written in C that runs in a terminal (ncurses TUI) or generates a live HTML dashboard in the browser. It parses nearly all web server log formats (Apache, Nginx, CloudFront, S3, Caddy, etc.) with minimal configuration and only ncurses as a dependency.
Use cases
- analyze nginx access logs in real time from the terminal
- generate a self-contained HTML analytics dashboard from web server logs
- monitor website traffic and visitor stats over SSH without a browser
- detect suspicious traffic, bots, and brute-force attempts in access logs
- track slow endpoints by measuring application response times
- export web log statistics as JSON or CSV
- find which virtual host consumes the most server resources
When to choose
- you need fast, real-time HTTP log analysis with minimal setup and dependencies
- you want privacy-friendly, self-hosted analytics without sending data to third parties
- you work primarily in the terminal or over SSH and want a TUI dashboard
- you need to parse many log formats including custom format strings
- you want a lightweight alternative to Google Analytics for server-side metrics
When to avoid
- you need client-side analytics like page views via JavaScript, events, or funnels that server logs cannot capture
- you want long-term historical storage and querying in a database or BI tool
- you need a GUI-based log analysis workflow rather than terminal or HTML reports
- you require distributed log aggregation across many servers with centralized storage
