Visualize Apache Log files

I want to quickly and efficiently analyze my apache log files. Is there a software that would read in apache log files and display visually (no parser) with a menu statistics such as distinct IPs, requests type, ...?

Since you have (odd) requirement to not have a parser, you'll need to output your logs in a descriptive way (e.g. json). So, update your apache config to write json, then use a shipper like filebeat to send them to a store like elasticsearch where you can visualize them with a tool like kibana.

The parser (logstash, in ELK's case) will allow you to add more value to your log data, so I wouldn't dismiss it so quickly.
