Logmagic www log analysis software
Logmagic was designed to answer a common question: "how many visitors had my website?". Though many log analysis tools try to answer that question, the methods used are either inaccurate (for example counting different IP addresses) or undocumented.
Logmagic's visit counting methods try to count visits in the same manner an human agent would count those visits: by looking at visitor attributes, and by following the evolution of each visitor through the site.
