How to monitor traffic of ruby on rails website?

Question

I have a ruby on rails application and it would be nice to see how many hits I get per hour. Is there some simple free software to do this or do I have to develop a custom solution? Thanks!

Answer 1

Chartbeat and Clicky are two "real-time" analytic tools I've used. Chartbeat tells you quite a bit more from what I remember, although I have only used the free version of clicky.
