Probably in these days the best option is real time analyzers, like google analytics, xiti, etc. Hope this helps. Kind regards. ---

And i need it for a webservice app. I can’t integrate a web based service as Google Analytics, etc. The only thing I really need is to calculate the requests according to the time of day.

You could use the log\_by\_lua I just implemented : > **[GitHub - mtourne/lua-nginx-module: Embed the Power of Lua into NginX](https://github.com/mtourne/lua-nginx-module#log_by_lua)** > > Embed the Power of Lua into NginX It basically lets you aggregate data in the lua exposed shared memory segments, and query them from another Nginx location. Check the example in the documentation. Regards, Matthieu.
