Couple of days ago a colleague of mine (thanks DL) got my attention with a lovely web server access log visualization tool called “logstalgia” (opensource c++ project). Well you can read the description by yourself on the project site  but with few words – it gives you the amusing option to “play” your Apache or Nginx access logs like a pong game save. It could be very useful in situation when you need to analyse web server request log quickly.
Both Windows and *nix platforms are supported. If you are Windows user you have the option to use the precompiled binary or to compile the code for yourself. For *nix users – the compilation is the only option. There is a Debian package but for way older version.
I’ve downloaded the logstalgia-1.0.3.tar.gz source and compiled it on my Debian wheezy with no problems. There are quite few dependencies but if you follow INSTALL instructions it should be OK (of course you need c++ compiler 🙂 )

Here I am playing the dailysecurity access for April 2013

Enjoy!
