GoAccess creates an interactive HTML dashboard from a website's access logs. Reports include requests, visitors, bandwidth, status codes, referrers and browsers when those fields are present in the logs. Reports update hourly by default and are private to users with access to the domain. Users with permission can update them on demand or download a standalone HTML copy. The dashboard follows Webmin's light or dark theme.

Each update reads the current log and, by default, its numbered or dated rotations, including gzip files. The report covers only the logs included in that update. Older statistics disappear after an update if those logs have been removed or excluded. Keep older logs for a longer reporting history.

Suspending reporting pauses updates and keeps settings and the last report. Re-enabling it restores the saved schedule. Removing reporting deletes its settings, reports and scheduled updates. Website logs are kept.
