Grep? Is that something I need a sysadmin for? /s

Quick plug for a log analyser: https://goaccess.io which I installed after realising it did all the things I actually wanted from GA (I don't actually need detailed user tracking)

Grep is unfortunately close to useless. It gives little to no insights on how long/deep a user stayed on a page, or where they went after that. Or what form fields are getting in the way of users from completing whatever you'd like them to do.
