S3stat
Analytics for CloudFront & Amazon S3
About S3stat
S3stat is a hosted analytics service that converts raw Amazon CloudFront and S3 server access logs into human-readable statistics, reports, and graphs. It gives AWS users visibility into traffic patterns, file usage, geography, and referrers without having to build their own log-processing pipeline.
