Webalizer is a program that scans Web server log files and produce usage statistics for viewing through a web browser. Typically a crontab entry (for each domain name of interest) runs this program once an hour to freshen the web page files.

Elsewhere webalizer.org

Check if Webalizer package is installed

# rpm -qa | grep -i webalizer

  ...

If not, yum it ...

# yum install webalizer

  ...

# rpm -qi webalizer

  ...

Installing webalizer typically install an annoying .../conf.d/webalizer.conf file that overloads the /usage/ web page path. Best to disable this file before restarting httpd. Still it is worth peeking at this file as it shows some clever ways of restricting who/from where webalizer files can be viewed from.

Unless your Apache/httpd is serving only a single web site, you will want to place a CustomLog directive in every virtual domain you would like to have access log files distinct from general Apache access file. Otherwise, webalizer will blend all website activity into a single report, not very useful typically.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.asite.com
    DocumentRoot "/public/asite/site"
    CustomLog /public/asite/access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Enable an hourly crontab to freshen the web files ...

# crontab -l

  # run this every hour
  30  *  *  *  *  /usr/bin/webalizer -c /public/asite/webalizer.conf

Now point your web browser at http://www.asite.com/usage/
