　　It can find out number of searches or signups per seconds. It can also create histogram of response time. There is also another tool called logrep a powerful command-line program for ad-hoc analysis and filtering for log files. You can dig up lots of information using wtop tools.
　　You need Python version 2.5 to run wtop.

$ cd /tmp

$ wget http://wtop.googlecode.com/files/wtop-0.5.6.tar.gz

$ tar -zxvf wtop-0.5.6.tar.gz

$ cd wtop-0.5.6

# python setup.py install



Configuring wtop
　　Once installed you can start using the tool immediately. You need to edit /etc/wtop.cfg file to setup parameters, Apache log files and other directives
# vi /etc/wtop.cfg




Sample configuration file:

DEFAULT_OUTPUT_FIELDS=ts,class,ipcnt,ip,msec,uas,url
# This must match your webserver log format. You MUST have at least %h, %r and %D
LOG_FORMAT=%h %l %u %t "%r" %>s %B "%{Referer}i" "%{User-Agent}i" %D
[wtop]
# max time before a request is logged in the "slow" column
MAX_REQUEST_TIME=5000
# minimum requests/second before a URL class appears in top mode
MIN_RPS=0.2
[classes]
# you can extend these to make any classes you wish
home=^/(?:\?.*)?$
xml=\.xml(?:\?.*)?$
js=\.js(?:\?.*)?$
css=\.css(?:\?.*)?$
img=\.(?:png|gif|jpe?g|cur|ico|bmp)(?:\?.*)?$
