Anyone know of a good (preferably free or reasonably priced) log analyser that will track spiders effectively.

I just want to know when a spider last visited and what file it requested on each visit. Ive been doing this with an access database but its awfully slow to process text files.

I've had mixed results with this free script. It is sorta klunky, but better than nothing, and it keeps a log in a MySQL database so you can see historic data.

If you want to see what it looks like:

Obviously I don't want a live link there :)

Also, hunting around I found this:

The demo site is:

Make sure you select a date on the drop down list - I didn't and I thought that only basic information was listed. Once you select a specific date, it has a lot more details like Date / Time, User Agent, Crawler Remote Host, IP Address, Page.

I haven't used it yet but I want to test it out.

AWStats is great...and free.
