I want to use goaccess to see how many real visitors my website is getting. Unsurprisingly my logs are filled with traffic from bots so I'm looking for a way to filter that out. In the interests of knowing what unwanted traffic continues to be sent I'd like to keep those logs too so that I can occasionally review it, like having a spam folder in my inbox.

I can see a couple of options:

  1. Move the offending log lines to another location and continue to use goaccess as normal
  2. Configure goaccess to ignore the unwanted requests

In both cases the challenge is identifying which are the unwanted log lines. Does anyone know of the best tool to do that?

For what it's worth, I'm using nginx and serving a static site, so I'm not worried about any of these attacks being successful. I realise the filtering will never be perfect but I'm sure there's some low hanging fruit here to make significant improvements with minimal effort.
