# Nginxtop

UNIX top-like app for nginx (or Apache, if you wish) access logs.

Every so often, a poorly behaved spammer or web crawler will hit one of the websites
I manage, and proceed to load the same pages over and over, causing a resource issue
and possibly even a Denial of Service. I got tired of this, so I built my own tool to determine
in real time who the culrprits were.

## Installation

### Via npm (recommended)

npm install -g nginxtop

This will install nginxtop into /usr/local/bin/ or somewhere else likely to be in your path.

### From source

git@github.com:dmuth/nginxtop.git
cd nginxtop

This will check out a copy of the nginxtop app to your current directory.

## Usage

tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log | nginxtop [ -n num_hosts_to_print] [-i report_interval_in_seconds]


## Testing

There is a file called `test.log` in this directory. It contains sample log entries. To test nginxtop using it:

tail -fn100 test.log | nginxtop -n 5

You'll start to see output like this once every second:

Nginxtop Top Hosts
===========================================
127.0.0.10: 14 hits
127.0.0.1: 7 hits
127.0.0.2: 6 hits
127.0.0.3: 6 hits
127.0.0.4: 5 hits
