Goaccess: Add "last visit" date to all panels

[donqq]

I suggest goaccess developers to consider to implement a feature which allows to sort the data by "date" in "VISITOR HOSTNAMES AND IPS". with the current implementation, it's not possible to find out the recent visits because it doesn't state the date. but with this new feature, users then can sort the data by date. This is quite useful to find out a large number of requests from a particular ip address received to the server lately. for instance, let's say we received 1000 hits today, and on the last week, in the last month? then how we are gonna find out the recent hits without knowing about when they received it? so please implement that in the next version, otherwise the whole "VISITOR HOSTNAMES AND IPS" doesn't do much.

I'm not sure I follow your example. Could you please clarify the use case of this? Thanks.

something like this in awstats

as you can see, it is sorted to display latest visits along with the hits it received. so by that way, if the server is receiving a large amount of hits from a particular ip it always shows up on top of the list. so we can block that ip, then again repeat the same thing on other bad ips.

From your screenshot, is it simply recording the date of last visit for each host? or is it doing something else with the last visit field?

[donqq]

well I meant it's sorted to display last visits. So if the server is receiving a lot of hits, usually that ip always stays top, and therefore we can recognize it so easily. with the current method, it's not possible, because it can only be sorted to "hits" , "visits", "bandwidth', so if you could add another field "date" apart from the existing ones, it would be great.

I can certainly add another column to display the last visit, and as the other columns, I'll add the option to sort by last visit.

Now I'm curious if it's worth adding this field to all panels... any thoughts?

[donqq]

yeah adding the last visit to other charts is a good idea too, because people may like to see when a page is requested at last. when a static content is requested at last.

I'll look into this. Thanks.

I also have big interest. Can one test the function somewhere? I have compiled from GIT, however, I do not find it?

[allinurl]

It hasn't been implemented. Still in the works. Stay tuned :)

Okay, many thanks for the quick answer. A really great programm!
