  • Getting started
  • Getting visit statistics

Get the query statistics for objects within a bucket configured to host a static website. The data will be retrieved using the S3 Select query language.

Note

To get information about requests, enable logging for the bucket with the website content.

Getting startedGetting started

Install and configure the AWS CLI.

Getting visit statisticsGetting visit statistics

Bash
  1. Run the query against Object Storage and save the output to a file:

    1. For convenience, save:

      • Name of the bucket storing the object with the logs, to a variable named $bucket:

        bucket=<bucket_name>
        
      • Key of the object containing the logs, to a variable named $key:

        key=<object_key>
        
      • S3 Select expression to request the data, to a variable named $query:

        query="select user_agent from s3object"
        
    2. Run this command:

      aws --endpoint https://storage.yandexcloud.net s3api select-object-content \
        --bucket $bucket \
        --key $key \
        --expression "$query" \
        --expression-type 'SQL' \
        --input-serialization 'JSON={Type=LINES}' \
        --output-serialization 'CSV={}' \
        "output.csv"
      
  2. To display the number of hits for each page, run an aggregation query using the sort and uniq commands:

    sort -nr output.csv | uniq -c
    

    Result:

    418 docker/19.03.9 go/go1.13.10 git-commit/1d238398e7 kernel/4.4.0-142-generic os/linux arch/amd64 UpstreamClient(Go-http-client/1.1)
