Free Script for Analyzing Podcasting Log Files

February 10, 2006

Andy Armstrong, host of the Mojo Crash podcast, has released a free PERL script designed to analyze podcast server log files and provide charts and statistics, tailored to podcasting.

Charts include Downloads by Day; Downloads by Country; Bandwidth by Day, Week and Month; Downloads by Show; and information on when individual podcasts were first downloaded and their most recent download.

"I created Podalyzer after analysing my podcast logs with a regular web analysis tool and realising that it wasn't capturing the information I needed," said Armstrong.

Requirements:

Podalyzer requires a recent version of Perl (5.8.3 or better).

In addition, users must:

have a web server that produces log files in Common Log File or Extended Common Log File formats
have access to those log files
to run Podalyzer have the following Perl modules installed:

HTML::Entities
GD::Graph

to have stats analysed by country have the following Perl modules installed:

Geo::IP

to run Podfeeder have the following Perl modules installed:

XML::Parser
LWP::UserAgent

Podalyzer is available at Hexten.com.
