+Monitor Apache / Nginx Log File
+Count the number of hits in a Apache/Nginx
+This small script will count the number of hits in a Apache/Nginx log file. 
+How it works
+This script can easily be adapted to any other log file. 
+
+The script starts with making an empty dictionary for storing the IP addresses andcount how many times they exist. 
+
+Then we open the file (in this example the Nginx access.log file) and read the
+content line by line. 
+
+The for loop go through the file and splits the strings to get the IP address. 
+
+The len() function is used to ensure the length of IP address. 
+
+If the IP already exists , increase by 1.
+ips = {}
+
+fh = open("/var/log/nginx/access.log", "r").readlines()
+for line in fh:
+    ip = line.split(" ")[0]
+    if 6 < len(ip) <=15:
+        ips[ip] = ips.get(ip, 0) + 1
+print ips
+Test it out
+If you now browse to your website, and run the python script, you should see your IP address + the counts.
