Depending on what your log files look like, look at ‘GoAccess’.
I think you’re gonna be disappointed with existing solutions if you don’t want to sit and stare at text files. It’s big business to automate this kind of stuff, because it’s hard.

Your proxy doesn’t have its own logs?

I use Apache for reverse proxying and it’s just standard access logs.
I built a python script to monitor all my access logs:

Because it’s progress that needed to happen 30 years ago. While we’ve been transitioning to electric cars, progress also needed to happen on every other issue but it doesn’t happen because we’re all in on electric cars instead of doing something about car dependency as a whole. It’s not moving forward, it’s moving sideways.

I’m going to post it again.

I agree with the premise that selfhosting is not something the layman can or want to do, but the assumption that self-hosters only host software that serve themselves is very, very dumb, and clearly comes from the mouth of someone who self-hosts out of hate for corporate services (same, though) and not for the love of selfhosting.

He complains that the software he uses can’t handle multi-users, but that sounds like a skill issue to me. His solution is to make his government give him metered cloud services. What he actually wants is software that allows multi-users. What he wants, by extension, is federated services.

The bulk of users on the fediverse are on large, centrally/cloud hosted instances, but the vast majority of instances are self-hosted, and can talk to the centrally hosted instances, serving usually more than the 1 user who’s hosting the instance in their attic.

The author conflates self-hosting with self-reliance, and I understand why, but it’s wrong. If you’re part of this community, you’re probably not some off-gridder who wants nothing to do with society, self-isolating your way out of the problems we face. If you’re reading this, you already know that we don’t have to live on our own individual and isolated paradise islands to escape Big Tech. Federation is the future, but selfhosting is fundamental to that, and not everything can or should be federated. Selfhosting is also the future.

the problem with federated social media is that each federated instance is just a regular centralized sites. They can censor each other,

Also, this is a feature. This is intentional.
