AWStats

AWStats is a free powerful and featureful tool that generates advanced web, streaming, ftp or mail server statistics, graphically. This log analyzer works as a CGI or from command line and shows you all possible information your log contains, in few graphical web pages. It uses a partial information file to be able to process large log files, often and quickly. It can analyze log files from all major server tools like Apache log files (NCSA combined/XLF/ELF log format or common/CLF log format), WebStar, IIS (W3C log format) and a lot of other web, proxy, wap, streaming servers, mail servers and some ftp servers.

What is the purspose of the ‘Regenerate’ button?

ARV Plugin is saving AWStats report under WordPress wp-content folder. It creates a unique LONG number
for the report directory name (e.g: 954693ec2b66aa9f51876107bf1880ef54707a492c40c0.87758923), it then gives
every file a unique identifier. If you felt that, for some reason, the report is accessed from Public user you can change the unique identified by forcing
ARV to re-genarate all the exists Unique Ids.
