UNIX top-like app for nginx (or Apache, if you wish) access logs.
Every so often, a poorly behaved spammer or web crawler will hit one of the websites I manage, and proceed to load the same pages over and over, causing a resource issue and possibly even a Denial of Service. I got tired of this, so I built my own tool to determine in real time who the culrprits were.
npm install -g nginxtop
This will install nginxtop into /usr/local/bin/ or somewhere else likely to be in your path.
git@github.com:dmuth/nginxtop.git
cd nginxtop
This will check out a copy of the nginxtop app to your current directory.
tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log | nginxtop [ -n num_hosts_to_print] [-i report_interval_in_seconds]
There is a file called test.log in this directory. It contains sample log entries. To test nginxtop using it:
tail -fn100 test.log | nginxtop -n 5
You'll start to see output like this once every second:
Nginxtop Top Hosts
