    Description: A fast web server log analyzer
     Visitors is a very fast web server log analyzer designed to be run
     from
     the command line, with support for text or html output and real-time
     statistics generation.  It can handle most web server logs including
     Apache access logs and is very easy to use: no configuration file and
     no database are required.  It can also generate visual path analysis
     graphs using Graphviz.
     .
