Real-time monitoring of web traffic

[ChristopherGlaeser]

I used Woopra for the past year to monitor real time traffic to my websites but they recently dropped support for the desktop app and replaced it with a web app.  As best I can tell the web app does not have the real-time alerts and other features that made the desktop app very compelling for me.  Perhaps I don't fully understand how to use the new web app, but I don't find it particularly useful.  Are there any other tools that provide good real-time monitoring of websites.

Best,
Christopher

One that no one has mentioned is Olark. It is a website chat program. You can use pigeon to communicate with people, but it ups up an an alert every time someone lands on the site. It tells the user agent and a bit of information about them. Plus you can initiate a chat with them if you want to.

Depending on the data your after, GA have their real time feature. (visits, referrals, locations etc)

Also according to http://clicky.com/compare/woopra (last updated June, 2013) says both seem to have desktop alerts with sounds etc.  So it might be worth checking up with Woopra to see if they still might have this feature

Thanks for the quick response.  This looks promising.
