Chartbrew VS AWStats

I'm working part-time on my project https://chartbrew.com

It's an open-source data visualization and reporting platform that I started in 2018, I abandoned in 2019, then resumed working on it more seriously in 2020.

Currently, the platform is doing $1,138 in MRR from then managed hosting service and has made over $11k in revenue so far. It's been growing steadily in the last few months but going through a rough Dec-Jan period at the moment. You can see the open page at https://chartbrew.com/open

Onwards and great job everyone at working to make side projects work for you!

Chartbrew (server): Chartbrew is open-source reporting service which really makes it easy to visualize data.

I did the same thing with Google Firebase for my herb garden! Also, if you want to chart data, Chartbrew is a great tool. I plan on doing this with a hanging drip wall as soon as my area has spring plants to buy!

There's an indie-hacker I follow building this: https://chartbrew.com/

From what I understand, it's more like an easier-to-use grafana, where you can build charts/graphs from different data sources.

Based on your requirements it sounds like AWStats [1] may be a fit. It's rather old-school but it's simple and works great on access logs and can be run on any node that you consolidate your logs to. It's had a sketchy security history so run it on something only you can access and/or put decent authentication in front of it.

Back in my day it was awstats. Still works great. I have 18 years of data.

matomo and goatcounter are nice, but there are even solutions which don't need any extra CPU or any extra client request:

• https://goaccess.io/

• https://www.awstats.org/

Both of them are free/open-source.

I have decided to do something with my Apache server's log file beautifiers and analytics. When I moved from Fedora to Windows I added Google Analytics and more or less forgot about the older Analog, AWStats, and Webalizer that I was using.

AWStats does something similar: https://www.awstats.org/

You get a full picture of traffic without relying on inserting JS into the page

AWStats or Webaliser are two really good ones for parsing Apache logs, but I've always loved Matomo for projects where I need more than just webserver logs.

Analytics? Web server logs + AWstats

Your httpd will likely have an access log (e.g. apache, nginx). If enabled you can do something as simple as say grep /page/you/are/interested/in /var/log/$httpd/access_log | wc -l etc or look at tools such as https://www.awstats.org/
