hi,

i use the freeware, weblog expert lite to analyze the logs:

quite easy to use and a great reporting interface.

We r using our site for marketing purposes with oracle database as backend , so we made a simple jsp page which will open up as a pop up when the index page is loaded and updates our database to show the no of hits. If ur site uses some databases in backend u can use this.
Or u can use some third party log analyzers like AWStats .

Hi Shiv,

as the others already have said there are plenty of free webalizer tools that parse the contents of all kinds of access logs of HTTP, FTP, ... servers that use some sort of the common logfile format (or are easily adapteble).
These tools will also produce fancy graphics and statistics that can be viewed in a webbrowser.

However, if you don't care for such sophistication, you can very straight-forward count log entries for a given date.

e.g. at one of our webservers for today


# grep -c $(date +%e/%b/%Y) access_log
59135


But this is very crude counting.
To get something meaningful you would have to further split up the separate client IPs,
or even bundle the requests taht belong to the same session.
This is more or less what the weblog analizers do.
