What is an Access Panda?

Access Panda is a CGI script that generates fast, pretty graphs from the data in web site log files. It has been designed to look pleasing and to be both easy to install and to use, so it does not require any graphics packages, UNIX shell commands, or programming knowledge, whatsoever.

All you need is a web browser and permission to run CGI scripts on a web server.

Here is a sample.

While Access Panda requires no modification to be used for everyday log file analysis, it can be heavily customized by a simple 'options' page available via a single button click.

What do I need to own one?

Access Panda is a CGI script written in Perl 5.0 under FreeBSD, though it should run on most modern operating systems. Its output has been formatted to look nicest in Netscape Navigator, though it should display correctly in any web browser.

Access Panda requires CGI.pm, a Perl library for CGI scripting.

You must read the installation instructions (care and feeding) and license agreement before use. Mail Big Panda House if you have comments or suggestions.
