What do you watch the spiders with?

Any good tools?

I love tracking:) I have great tools to parse log files and track visitors, but does anyone have a favorite to watch JUST spider behavior? What would provide the most in depth analysis for this?

I've never used it but the one at Website Management Tools [websitemanagementtools.com] looks interesting.

Why pay 129 when Analog is free and totally configuareable?

There is an older software (free) if you can find it call Logalizer which works well also, however is limited by the amount of memory available.

I wrote a small application that parses the raw logs into an Access database. It then allows me to sort and filter according to the various fields.

I use my own PHP application that tracks 180 spiders and displays statistics.
For the moment, I prefer tagging my pages and using this application, instead of post-processing my logs.
