Is there a way to have piwik analyze mail server logs? Slightly OT, but if not do folks have a favorite mail log analyzer (for Postfix/amavis, etc)?

#32I am surprised at so many comment using it as Log File Analytics rather then JS setup. If you want Log File Analytic, you should definitely give GoAccess a try. https://goaccess.io/
I'm using Piwik for JS tracking (pageviews, searches and external links) and Goaccess for apache log (http statistics updated every 3 hours), great combo!

Heads up that the goaccess in Ubuntu's universe repo is woefully out of date, so DON'T apt-get install it. Download and build from source - you'll get a much better experience.
I've noticed this with several other packages in universe recently too, it seems to be updated much less than you'd expect. It's a community-maintained repo, but you'd think the Ubuntu community is large enough to stay on top of some of this stuff. As it stands, the redis in universe on 14.04 has had unpatched security issues for at least 2 years.

#34Piwik is an awesome tool. But today I'm only using their JS Tracker to send requests to a pool of nginx servers.
The event logs are parsed with Fluentd and saved in a mongodb instance. After that, a proccess do some aggregations and put in my postgresql (app db).
We have this setup because we run our custom and specific analytics for a lot of clients.
Do anyone have a similar setup and have some experiences or hints to share?

I think Piwik is straight up web stuff..
It wouldn't be all that hard to set up an Elasticsearch/Kibana instance and then throw your maillogs into it.

#36How do you verify the integrity of the Piwik zip file you download?

#37I clicked to see what exactly it was, and I was delighted to see a "What is Piwik?" heading in the sidebar. A nice bit of site design.

Most PPAs breaks my APT or doesn't even share the same required libs. For debian most PPAs that are initially setup for Ubuntu feel useless.

Seconded! I just switched from Piwik to goaccess last week, mostly because goaccess is much easier to use.
Piwik certainly has more features though.
