The other day I stumbled upon S3stat.com. S3STAT is a service that takes the detailed server access logs provided by Amazon’s CloudFront and Simple Storage Service (S3), and translates them into human readable statistics, reports and graphs.
S3 is a quick, simple way to reduce the disk space and bandwidth required for similar sites. You pay monthly only for the resources you use, and their prices are very fair.
Anyways, back to S3stat.com. They allow you to see logs for your Amazon Web Service (AWS). They have a reasonable price, only $5/mo after a 30-day Free Trial. You don’t have to enter any payment method, so after the 30 days, you can choose to upgrade to the paid plan, or stop using it.
S3stat.com is a great service, and if you use Amazon Web Services, it is an invaluable tool for your success.
Cool I am all for low disk space usage and bandwidth, and if the resources are great then why not? I haven’t heard of this before but I guess it won’t hurt to just take a look at it.
well written blog. Im glad that I could find more info on this. thanks
I always enjoy learning what other people think about Amazon Web Services and how they use them. Check out my very own tool CloudBerry Explorer that helps to
manage S3 on Windows . It is a freeware. http://s3.cloudberrylab.com/
Oh wow! thanks for this…
I am an Amazon Web Services user and I was just trying to find for a powerful tools for it. I guess I will check for your suggestion about S3stat.com. Thanks for sharing!
I will check this site and try their services coz it looks interesting and cool as Amazon web services user. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing, I will check the Amazon service. Is it fr the uk too?
$5 may be reasonable price for their service… Will try their trial version then decide after…
thanks for sharing…
Does anyone here use this service? Is it worth the price?
Will try that service for sure, seems like a good tool …
Great info, was just looking for something like this !
I am happy that i come through a very informative blog, thanks so much for writing such a helping blog…
Looks like a cool service. I’m going to check it.

I’ve been trying to figure out how I would like to store my stock images online. I’ll have to look into the Amazon service. I guess this beats Flickr.

Your proposal sounds really cool.
I’d love to try.
I’m really happy to read your posts finding a lot really useful.
You said it right man that this proposal seems to be very cool.
The idea of S3STAT service sounds interesting and i will surely make use of it.
Thanks for the post.
Yes. great service at reasonable price. Thanks for introducing this great website.
Hey brother, Thanks for all of this.
S3Stat is actually a pretty awesome service, we’ve been using it for a while now.
hmm interesting info, might have to look into
whether or not to do something like this. Thanks
for the enlightenment. Keep Blogging.
Thanks for the interesting info. I’ll try to use that Log Analyzer.
on S3 – wouldn’t buying a storage devide be a cheaper option? specially with hard disks so inexpensive these days…
For just using it as a backup option, yes. However I use it for my website. It is a stock image site, so the site uses a lot of space. It works out to be cheaper that buying a dedicated server with more disk space.
I need a tool like this for such a long time. Sometimes Google Analytics does not show the whole traffic and I trust server logs more. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds awesome. I could use this a lot, thanks for pointing this out Cheap Photo Frames
Its cool and simple way to reduce the disk space and bandwidth
I think S3 is essential for video where you don’t want to use YouTube (with it’s corresponding TOS, Adverts and risk of getting removed video). Obviously you can use you own webhost but you may hit bandwidth limits and get your site kicked out. Not worth the risk, so Amazon is the ideal solution for video.
It looks like S3stat.com is a great service. Paired up with Amazon Web Services, it’s pretty handy.
Nice image service and cheap too. Good to know about s3stat service.
Another alternative that might take a bit more setting up is to use weblog expert in conjunction with allway sync. Use AS to fetch your log files then weblog expert to parse and visualise them, I think weblog expert gives better results if you want to see which specific files have been accessed
That sounds like an interesting idea Dave. Thanks!
It seems to be a very helpful service and it is surely worth a try. Thanks for sharing.
