## What is it? ##
GoAccess is an open source, real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer
that runs in a terminal on *nix systems or directly in your browser. Designed
with system administrators, DevOps engineers, and security professionals in
mind, it delivers fast, actionable HTTP statistics and visual server reports on
the fly. GoAccess parses your web server logs in real time and presents the
data directly in the terminal or via a live HTML dashboard, making it easy to
monitor traffic, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot issues instantly.
