botstat 0.0.4

Search engine analyser for nginx/apache web servers

BotStat
BotStat is a small utility to monitor the crawl rate of your website by search engine bots. Once you run it, it sends bots crawl rate statistics in CSV format to your email.

Also, it helps to detect the source of possible problems. Crawl rate is dependent on many parameters. We try to give a picture of your site productivity for different search engines: Google, Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex, Sogou, and others.

For example, according to Google’s Webmaster Blog, if your website responds quickly for a while, the crawl limit goes up, meaning more connections can be used to crawl. If the site slows down or responds with server errors, the limit goes down, and Googlebot crawls less. Other search engines have similar logic in most cases.

Installing
It is easy to do from pip

pip install botstat
or from sources

git clone [e-mail]:EndurantDevs/botstat-seo.git
cd botstat-seo
python setup.py install
If you want to confirm that install was successful, please check for the botstat command line utility.

Usually this tool is used with cron. To go the same way, please add your configuration and configure your crontab.

Running the tests
To be sure everything is fine before installation from sources, just run:

python setup.py test
Or

pytest tests/
Usage
If you have config at ~/.botstat or /etc/botstat.conf you can just do

botstat
or if you have config on custom path

botstat -c /path/to/your/config
or if you like to provide all params from command line

botstat --access-log access.log --debug --log-format '$remote_addr $host $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" $status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" $request_time -$http_x_forwarded_for-' --smtp-port 10025 --mail-to "[e-mail]" --mail-from "root@localhost"

Parse web server logs and make bots statistic Args that start with '--' (eg.
--verbose) can also be set in a config file (/etc/botstat.conf or ~/.botstat
or specified via -c). Config file syntax allows: key=value, flag=true,
stuff=[a,b,c] (for details, see syntax at https://goo.gl/R74nmi). If an arg is
specified in more than one place, then commandline values override config file
values which override defaults.

-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c MY_CONFIG, --my-config MY_CONFIG
config file path
--verbose Verbose output
--debug Enable debug mode
