Is there a Linode utility that give detailed user footprint statistics other than the stats provided by the summary section of my linode?
I am interested in viewing and analyzing visitors footprints to my application. In particular, i would like to know the geolocation of hits, operating systems, browser used and most hit links/urls etc.
Do i have to install third party software like Awstats to do this for me or is there a specific Linode utility already available that does this? I am basically trying to avoid parsing nginx access logs(and re-inventing the wheel).
Is there an existing utility that provides these stats in Linode other than the monitoring tool provided in the summary section of my linode?
