Which nginx log formats are supported?

The standard combined format is auto-detected. Custom log_format directives are supported through manual column mapping, as long as timestamp and user agent fields are present.

Are gzipped logs supported?

Yes. Gzipped (.gz) rotations upload as-is, so logrotate output ships directly without preprocessing.

Does this require changes to my nginx configuration?

No. You upload the logs nginx already writes. Nothing is installed on your servers and your configuration stays untouched.

Which plans include the nginx integration?

Agent Analytics is included on Scale and Enterprise plans, with per-URL drilldown on Enterprise.

Features

The most popular web server, finally AI-aware

nginx records every request, including all the AI bots that JavaScript analytics never see. LLM Pulse makes that visible.

Auto-detected log format

The standard nginx combined log format is recognized on upload, including gzipped rotations. Custom log_format directives can be mapped manually in one step.

AI agents identified per request

User agents are matched against our catalog, covering GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider, Amazonbot and more, grouped by company.

Instant history from rotations

Upload weeks of rotated logs in one go and get an immediate view of how AI crawler demand has trended on your infrastructure.

Complete, unsampled, server-side

Access logs are the ground truth. Every request from every agent is recorded, whether or not it executes JavaScript.

From access.log to AI bot dashboard

No agents to install, no config to change.

1

Collect your access logs

Grab access.log and its rotations from your nginx servers. Gzipped files work without unpacking.
2

Upload to LLM Pulse

From Agent Analytics, open CSV upload and drop the files in. The nginx format is detected automatically.
3

See who's been crawling

Totals, time series, top bots and top companies are computed immediately. Append new uploads whenever you want fresher data.

"LLM Pulse has allowed us to better organize our work and prioritize the actions that matter most. It gives us much greater clarity when implementing new ideas, and it makes reporting far easier, with metrics that were previously complex and difficult to obtain. Today it is part of how we plan and measure our visibility in AI search."
