In this article we will be going over a quick example on how to use goaccess to analyze the Apache access.log in a non-production Acquia Cloud Platform environment.
Make sure to replace content in [] with your specific use case

For non-production environments which rely on a single instance to serve traffic analyzing the logs with goaccess is relatively simple.

First you SSH to the appropriate environment example.env and navigate to the access.log location. 

In order to analyze the logs you need to pa them to goaccess together with the appropriate log format. For example:

example@staging-123:/var/log/sites/[example].[env]/logs/staging-123$ cat access.log | goaccess --log-format=COMBINED -o ~/report.html

... or if you would like to check historical gziped logs:

example@staging-123:/var/log/sites/[example].[env]/logs/staging-123$ zcat access.log | goaccess --log-format=COMBINED -o ~/report.html

The report is now available for you to download using the same methods described here but with the location being /home/[example]/report.html instead.

Note that you can actually place the report.html to a location which is served by your sites like /var/www/html/example.env/docroot/sites/default/files by modifying the above command and then view the result from your browser. Be careful you may want to add http authentication to that as it will be publicly available!
