Getting stats from an apache server

Hi,

is it possible to go back few days earlier and get stats on web
traffic (in/out) per IP and per period?
I've check under /var/log and there is many files but it doesn't seem
to indicate me what can cause a surge in web or ftp traffic...

Use webalizer.

Use a trafic analyzer as analog or webalizer on your log files.

Yes, but I'm curious to know which file webalizer is taking to
perform such stats; in the introduction webpage it is state that
access_log is used, however there seems to be no data like 'number of
bytes per visit' in access_log, just one line per page visited. For
exemple I have:

81.96.119.130 - - [09/Nov/2003:07:03:49 -0500] "GET /HeadScript.js
HTTP/1.1" 301 250 myurl.com "http://www.myurl.com/found/intro.html"
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461)"

as a typical line in access_log, but no amount of bytes for this; I
have not the lattitude to reconfigure webalizer or do anything like
that as it is not mine and I'd like to have the flexibility to perform
something myself on a low level basis.

The access_log and error_log files

No, but there is the amount of bytes of each single requests, that summed
up and divided by the total number of visits will give you that figure.

What do you think that the number after the response code is? See the
documentation about the log format if you want more info.
