Apache web servers are widely used among businesses to host their websites and web applications. The raw logs generated by Apache servers provide valuable information about how an Apache server-hosted website is handling user requests and the frequent errors faced while accessing your website.
EventLog Analyzer, our Apache log parser tool, helps in collecting, parsing, indexing, and correlating Apache server logs. This solution doesn't stop at parsing the logs either, it also provides intuitive reports to fast-track the decision-making process.
EventLog Analyzer is an easy to use Apache log parser tool that automatically extracts all key fields, such as client and server IP address, date and time of the event, server name, port number, client-server Unique Resource Identifier (URI) query, and more. Besides parsing these fields and presenting them in interactive report format, this tool also allows you to set up threshold-based alerts for the parsed key fields.

Although EventLog Analyzer automatically parses and analyzes Apache logs, there are certain scenarios where you would want to extract additional fields (such as the Apache module response code) or to create custom Apache log formats for getting better visibility into your Apache server performance or security. EventLog Analyzer's custom log parser allows you to extract additional fields with ease. The custom log parser provides you with different regex patterns for the new field, then allows you to validate the different options provided and pick the best suited. Once a new field is defined, you can also create custom reports or alerts based on it.
EventLog Analyzer allows you to perform in-depth Apache server log analysis to derive your Apache web server's trends and usage patterns. This solution comes with predefined analytical capabilities that help you understand the events and errors of your web server. Get better visibility into red-flag events—such as an HTTP request URI being too large, unsupported media types, HTTP bad requests, and more—to ascertain your Apache server performance and security. With the security analytical dashboard for Apache, get insights into the top visitors, URLs accessed, status codes, browsers used, and more.
Besides parsing and analyzing, EventLog Analyzer also allows you to correlate the Apache web server logs with rest of your network logs to contextually detect web server-based threats. Spot potential threats such as SQL injection attempts and malicious URL requests using the solution's real-time correlation engine. Further, the solution also comes with built-in threat intelligence that can spot a request to a web server from a malicious source.
Detect and mitigate Apache web server attacks at an early stage with EventLog Analyzer's web server attack analytical reports. These reports help you to quickly respond to anomalies and suspicious user activities, as well as troubleshoot application crashes on Apache servers. Get alerted in real time to common attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, directory traversal, malicious URL requests, and spam e-mails. You can also view a detailed incident timeline of the above attacks using the Apache web server attack reports. Additionally, analyze potential threats—such as HTTP bad request, HTTP bad gateway, HTTP gateway timeout, and HTTP forbidden—with reports to discover and eliminate the most frequent client and server-side errors.

Through Apache web server monitoring, you can gain deep insights into your Apache web server's performance metrics, detect common errors, and ensure your Apache web server provides a seamless user experience.
It's vital to monitor the Apache server performance periodically to secure it from the hands of intruders. The solution helps you proactively mitigate web server security attacks like SQL injections, cross-site scripting, DoS attacks, malicious URL requests, and more.
EventLog Analyzer aggregates logs from various network sources and presents all the security events in a centralized dashboard to make sense of an enormous amount of Apache logs. Furthermore, it supports logs from over 750 different log sources.
The solution uses open-source international threat information feeds such as AlienVault OTX and STIX/TAXII to detect suspicious entities. It contains an alert profile that sends real-time alerts whenever it identifies any malicious global black-listed IP addresses, domains, or URLs interacting with your network.
EventLog Analyzer allows you to generate out-of-the-box, pre-defined compliance reports for regulations such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, FISMA, HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, and ISO 27001. The solution helps you customize the existing compliance reports or create a new compliance report according to your organization's internal security policies.
Apache log parsing involves converting raw text files into fields that are easy to index, filter, search, and analyze. There are two categories of Apache logs: Apache access logs, which show all unique website visitors' information, and Apache error logs, which record errors or anomalies that users encounter. By parsing and analyzing Apache logs, you can get deep insights into your Apache server's overall performance.
Apache logs provide valuable information about the web server's performance and security posture, both of which play a crucial role in the troubleshooting process. Collecting and managing historical Apache log data has also become mandatory to comply with various regulatory mandates. Apache access logs help you determine how users are accessing your site, which pages are performing well, and how users landed upon a particular page.
The Apache access log file is one among the several log files produced by the Apache HTTP server that records all the server requests processed. Apache access log parsing includes the client IP Address, HTTP request, and timestamps; each of which contribute to you spotting malicious events accurately and getting rid of anomalies.
EventLog Analyzer contains extensive features to parse, audit, and report on Apache web server logs in real time. The solution helps you understand Apache server activities, detect malicious user activities, and generate real-time alerts that are sent to the security team immediately via SMS or email. Threat intelligence capabilities provide you with actionable threat insights into security incidents at their initial stage. Additionally, its log forensic capabilities allow you to investigate the error events further and retrace breach events to find out their root cause.
