Logs can then be parsed with GoAccess

Via: https://github.com/piwik/piwik/tree/master/misc/log-analytics and http://publications.jbfavre.org/web/nginx-vhosts-automatiques-avec-SSL-et-authentification.en

To make nginx logging work with the GoAccess VCOMBINED log format you might have to add :$server_port like so:

log_format vcombined '$host:$server_port '
        '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
        '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '
        '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log vcombined;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
