The cloud in numbers. Plotted.

If you are using CloudBerry Explorer or Cyberduck to access your S3 storage and to configure your CloudFront distributions you may have used the feature to let the service write access logs to a dedicated bucket. CloudBerry Explorer gives you the possibility to get a basic static chart that shows you the number of requests or transferred bytes per day. But what are the options if you want to get a deeper, faster and automated insight into your log files?

Qloudstat is a new service offered in the cloud to give you analytics for cloud hosted content without any infrastructure of maintenance required.

After choosing to enable logging in CloudBerry Explorer, sign in to Qloudstat and setup a configuration to analyze your log files using dedicated security credentials with IAM for Amazon (AWS) or OAuth2 for Google Cloud Storage. Reports are updated continuously around the clock to give instant and always up to date statistics no matter of access volume or the number and size of log files.

Qloudstat is doing analytics for not only hits but other crucial metrics such as bandwidth and transfer costs. Data is plotted in an interactive chart, timeline, table or geographical map split up by different dimensions in a user friendly web interface. Gain insight of URIs and filetypes used. List referring sites and search keywords. Analyze HTTP user agents, operations and status codes. Compare CDN edge locations. Visualize requests on a country, region or city map. The analytics provided are not static but queries can be made for for any given daily time period with custom filters applied. Dynamic reports are rendered instantaneously not dependent on the time period chosen to be visualized.

Pricing is based on raw log data volume with four different monthly subscription plans offered. Additionally a free plan allows to use the service at zero costs for sites with less than 100'000 hits per month. With data liberation in mind, export formats for further external processing are provided.
