If you want Log File Analytic, you should definitely give GoAccess a try.
I've noticed this with several other packages in universe recently too, it seems to be updated much less than you'd expect. It's a community-maintained repo, but you'd think the Ubuntu community is large enough to stay on top of some of this stuff. As it stands, the redis in universe on 14.04 has had unpatched security issues for at least 2 years.
Piwik certainly has more features though.

For those that don't know: Piwik is a open source Google Analytics alternative.
Cheers Piwik, keep doing what you are doing. And all the best with the new marketplace.
My Piwik instance is nearly unusable because any non-trivial request takes ages.
For scaling tracking, QueuedTracking plugin is the solution: http://piwik.org/docs/setup-auto-archiving/
For managing DB size, see: https://piwik.org/docs/managing-your-databases-size/
For any other issue, maybe report in Github tracker: https://github.com/piwik/piwik/issues
If that isn't enough http://piwik.org/docs/optimize-how-to/ shows you how to configure php and mysql for more performance.
Actual hardware requirements are quite small for small sites (say < 10k visitors/day). Any 10-15$ VPS should be fine.
We stopped using MySQL.
Or to word it differently, we stopped using Piwik. They lived together, they died together.
Kudos to them for also finding a business model alongside the open source application. That set up usually lends itself to long running OSS as there is (hopefully) always money coming in.
We have this setup because we run our custom and specific analytics for a lot of clients.
Do anyone have a similar setup and have some experiences or hints to share?
It wouldn't be all that hard to set up an Elasticsearch/Kibana instance and then throw your maillogs into it.
(Quick test: if you're counting page views in millions per day, you're gonna have a tough time).
