A beautiful terminal dashboard
By default, GoAccess outputs to a terminal in real time. GoAccess' dashboard gives you an overview of server metrics by displaying summaries of different reports as panels on a single scrollable view.
Prefer a real-time HTML report than the terminal?
Apart from the terminal output, GoAccess allows you to generate
HTML, JSON, or CSV reports. You can
even email the HTML file since it is composed of a single file with no external
file dependencies, how neat is that! Check out the Live Demo.
Spot aggressive hosts/bots
Spotting aggressive crawlers/bots and identifying who's eating your bandwidth is easy with the host panel. It also features the ability to display a list of user agents per each host.
Easy to navigate panels
The dashboard is composed of different reports — report panels can be expanded for more information so you can quickly check the correlations between different reports.
