    I have tried some free and shareware log analyzers, but was not happy with any of them.

    Can someone recommend o good one?
    It should be able to:
    - monitor trafic from search engines (sort by keywords, define your custom search engines)
    - monitor spider activity (define own spiders)
    - display visitor's path through site
    - filter reports by day/week/month
    - handle files without extensions correctly

    Thanks,
    V.

    I really like WebLog Expert. It's a very nice program and works very well.

    Trace Watch is very cool and realtime - does what you want. Only thing is you need a DB.

    EDIT actually not everything you want...but nearly

    What size of files do you put through it Mystik?

    I have a site that creates around 500-600mb of log files every day and the installed stats program just can't cope with it which is frustrating.

    I highly suggest Sawmill and if you beta test you can get it for free. Sawmill.

    Renoir: how does awstats handle the search engine stuff. I can't find any way of getting details reports out of it.

    I use trace watch + google analytics

    Trace watch is very cool, very simple, real time, and you have the visitor paths
    Google analytics not real time but very good for the global picture and geo location accuracy, and other little gadgets.

    So if you use the 2 you have a complete system
