[rrd-users] Web log graphing

[Geoff Garside]

You should be able to get the bytes of each request from the access log, it
should be the 7th field in the standard combined log format (%b)

"%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""

though the %r field will require a bit more care as you can't just split on
spaces as the %r will have something like "GET /index.html HTTP/1.0" in it.

I don't know any application which will currently take this information and
add it to RRD. You might have to add up the bytes from X minute blocks or
whatever to get reasonably sensible results though.
