Software to monitor your website

My father and I are looking for some kind of software to monitor who accesses our website. We'd like to be able to get the IP and maybe even where they came from (as in from what website they clicked our link from).


1. Is this possible?
2. Can it be done with scripts?
3. Can it cost next to nothing?


Thanks!
 
if your website offers perl/cgi you may want to check this out - http://awstats.sourceforge.net/

i personally use http://www.weblogexpert.com/index.htm and here is a demo for you from a site i put up for the almighty keyra augustina's arse (not safe for work if you go to the actual site, but the log stuff is safe for work) http://keyra.sytes.net:6583/stats/

i think it is ~$75 and is nice as you can schedule whenever you want it to update the stats or just run them when you open the program. i have mine setup so that it runs the program every day at a certain time and then outputs the html into the /stats folder for that particular site.

 
I highly suggest using AWStats. It is a very good open-source / free log analyser. It may require more knowledge to setup than you have, but it's worth a try. A default install isn't too tough if you follow their instructions.
 
be VERY carefull, as many of the (I know awstats does) have exposed vunerabilities in the past. If possible, I would use these offline with your log files, not on your server.


If you don't like what they put out, perl would easily do this, and can format that data every which way you want.
