====== Direwolf Web Log Viewer ======
Sourced from Alfredo Vania, IZ7BOJ, GitHub Repository.
https://github.com/IZ7BOJ/direwolf_webstat

====== Overview ======
I am assuming you have set up and configured an [[ei5iybpastebin2|APRS iGate]] as detailed in this [[ei5iybpastebin2|post]]
You might be interested in an easy way of showing what stations you are hearing. Direwolf outputs its logs in a delimited format which can be opened and parsed by a variety of applications. However, sometimes a web GUI is much nicer. Alfredo, IZ7BOJ, has developed a PHP web statistics viewer which parses the logs and displayed the results on a nicely formatted table presented on a self-hosted website.

For reference I have this installed on a Raspberry Pi Zero W running Raspberry OS Lite 32 Bit (Bullseye 2022-09-22)

====== Main Features of the software ======

  * Unordered List ItemPossibility to monitor multiple radio interfaces
  * Possibility to show custom info and custom logo file on the bottom of the page (edit “custom.php” file, which can contain HTML and PHP code)
  * Counters of total frames in the log
  * System status table (reads parameters directly from OS)
  * Heard station list table (observation period selectable by the user in a drop-down list) with the following fields
    * Heard Callsign
    * N. of packets heard for callsign
    * Direct link for showing the station on aprs.fi
    * Static/moving indicator
    * Via indicator (digi/direct/digi+direct)
    * Raw packet view for each callsign
  * Possibility to sort the table in ascending or descending order on each column
  * Live monitor page: ajax page for watching ax25 traffic in real-time.
