Hello,

I know that in Apache you can see in the log files whether robots/web spiders have visited your sites.

I have looked in the tomcat logs, but they only report errors, can anyone tell me if I can see visits from robots in any other log files?

Thanks

I have found that uncommenting the following:

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogVal ve"
                 directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"
                 pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>


creates log files of visitors.
You need to add this to the in the section for the relevant virtual host.

Now I have another problem, I want to display the name of the requestor, not just the IP. I tried setting resolveHosts to true, but then could not connect to my site. Any ideas??

Thanks,

Found I had:

enableLookups="false"

changed this to true and it worked ok, now I should be able to see how often google is dropping in:D
