-#+title: Inspecting Nginx Logs with GoAccess and MaxMind GeoIP Data
-#+date: 2023-06-08
-
-** Overview
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: overview
-:END:
-[[https://goaccess.io/][GoAccess]] is an open source real-time web log
-analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in *nix systems
-or through your browser.
-
-** Installation
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: installation
-:END:
-To start, you'll need to install GoAccess for your OS. Here's an example
-for Debian-based distros:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-sudo apt install goaccess
-#+end_src
-
-Next, find any number of the MaxMind GeoIP database files on GitHub or
-another file hosting website. We're going to use P3TERX's version in
-this example:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-wget https://github.com/P3TERX/GeoLite.mmdb/raw/download/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
-#+end_src
-
-Be sure to save this file in an easy to remember location!
-
-** Usage
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: usage
-:END:
-In order to utilize the full capabilities of GoAccess and MMDB, start
-with the command template below and customize as necessary. This will
-export an HTML view of the GoAccess dashboard, showing all relevant
-information related to that site's access log. You can also omit the
-=-o output.html= parameter if you prefer to view the data within the CLI
-instead of creating an HTML file.
-
-With the addition of the GeoIP Database parameter, section
-=16 - Geo Location= will be added with the various countries that are
-associated with the collected IP addresses.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-zcat /var/log/nginx/example.access.log.*.gz | goaccess \
---geoip-database=/home/user/GeoLite2-City.mmdb \
---date-format=%d/%b/%Y \
---time-format=%H:%M:%S \
---log-format=COMBINED \
--o output.html \
-/var/log/nginx/example.access.log -
-#+end_src
