Launch

rhit (or sudo rhit depending on your configuration) will open the access logs if they're at their standard location.

You may open a specific file, or a specific directory, by giving the path as argument:

rhit my/archived/logs

Launch parameters

rhit --help will display all available launch arguments.

The arguments you'll most often use enable

• filtering hits to focus on a specific subset: --date, --ip, --method, --path, --referer, --status
• choosing the displayed fields: --fields
• choosing the sorting key, either hits (default) or bytes: --key
• specifying the detail level, the length of tables: --length, from 0 (short) to 6 (long), 1 being the default
• seeing the recent changes: --changes
• exporting the filtered lines, either to screen or to a file
