# amavis-stats(1)

generate scan statistics from amavis logfiles

## NAME

amavis-stats - generate scan statistics from amavis logfiles

## SYNOPSIS

**amavis-stats** \[*options*\] *logfile*

## DESCRIPTION

**amavis-stats** is a simple amavis statistics generator based on rrdtool. Infection statistics are read from amavis (sys)log entries and stored into rrd files.

There is an accompanying php script to actually generate the graphs. This man page is just for the perl script which parses the log files.

## OPTIONS

**amavis-stats** accepts the following options:

- **-h**

  Show summary of options and exit.

- **-v**

  does nothing (legacy option)

- **-V**

  print version number and exit

- **-q**

  keep quiet - no output

- **-f *logfile***

  legacy way of specifying input file. No longer needed but kept to not break existing cron jobs

- **-d**

  Print debugging message to stderr (lots!)

- **-l**

  Enable [locale(7)](/locale/7.md) support. By default amavis-stats assumes syslog or AMaViS records English dates. If you want to use the default locale instead (as specified by the LC\_\* environment variables) use this flag.

- **-r**

  Reset file pointer to 0. Normally the logfile is parsed from from where  the last run ended.

## FILES

*/var/lib/amavis-stats/* location of rrd files and state information.

*/var/lib/amavis-stats/img* image cache directory.

*/usr/share/amavis-stats/amavis-stats.php* php script for generating graphs.
