Bash script to parse Apache log on your Uberspace account for a count of RSS subscribers and email it to you

rss-subscribers.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Schedule this to run once a day with cron. Doesn't matter what time since it parses yesterday's hits (by default).
# I only tested this on the Marco.org server, which runs CentOS (RHEL). No idea how it'll work on other distributions, but it's pretty basic.

# Required variables:
RSS_URI="/rss"
MAIL_TO="[email protected]"
LOG_FILE="/home/[UBERSPACE_USERNAME]/logs/access_log"

# --- Optional customization ---

MAIL_SUBJECT="RSS feed subscribers"

# Date expression for yesterday
DATE="-1 day" 

# Locale for printf number formatting (e.g. "10000" => "10,000")
LANG=en_US

# Date format in Apache log
LOG_FDATE=`date -d "$DATE" '+%d/%b/%Y'`

# Date format for display in emails
HUMAN_FDATE=`date -d "$DATE" '+%F'`

# --- The actual log parsing ---

# Unique IPs requesting RSS, except those reporting "subscribers":
IPSUBS=`fgrep "$LOG_FDATE" "$LOG_FILE" | fgrep " $RSS_URI" | egrep -v '[0-9]+ subscribers' | cut -d' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq | wc -l`

# Google Reader subscribers and other user-agents reporting "subscribers" and using the "feed-id" parameter for uniqueness:
GRSUBS=`fgrep "$LOG_FDATE" "$LOG_FILE" | fgrep " $RSS_URI" | egrep -o '[0-9]+ subscribers; feed-id=[0-9]+' | sort | uniq | cut -d' ' -f 1 | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'`

# Other user-agents reporting "subscribers", for which we'll use the entire user-agent string for uniqueness:
OTHERSUBS=`fgrep "$LOG_FDATE" "$LOG_FILE" | fgrep " $RSS_URI" | fgrep -v 'subscribers; feed-id=' | egrep '[0-9]+ subscribers' | egrep -o '"[^"]+"$' | sort | uniq | egrep -o '[0-9]+ subscribers' | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'`

REPORT=$(
    printf "Feed stats for $HUMAN_FDATE:\n\n"
    printf "%'8d Google Reader subscribers\n" $GRSUBS
    printf "%'8d subscribers from other aggregators\n" $OTHERSUBS
    printf "%'8d direct subscribers\n" $IPSUBS
    echo   "--------"
    printf "%'8d total subscribers\n" `expr $GRSUBS + $OTHERSUBS + $IPSUBS`
)

echo "$REPORT"
echo ""
echo "Also emailed to $MAIL_TO."

echo "$REPORT " | mail -s "[$HUMAN_FDATE] $MAIL_SUBJECT" "$MAIL_TO"

Does this also work for blogs hosted on subdomains?

Thanks!
