There’s open source log monitoring software (such as Elastic’s ELK stack), but getting clients to configure and implement them can be like trying to get blood from a stone. Often SEOs use GREP to collect raw Googlebot log lines and analyse in a spreadsheet, or use log solutions which were not really built with SEO in mind. Unfortunately, the process of analysing log files has always been a pain, due to the difficulties of getting access to logs, their format and huge size. I don’t think I need to preach the benefits of analysing log files to most SEOs, but if you’re in any doubt or would like more insight, then I highly recommend the log file analysis guide from the team at BuiltVisible. The Screaming Frog Log File Analyser provides an overview of key data from a log file, and allows you to dig deeper. While crawling is a wonderful thing, analysing your log files directly from the server allows you to see exactly what the search engines have experienced, over a period of time. Since the release of the SEO Spider, we planned to build a Log File Analyser, and finally started on development last year.

I am delighted to announce the release of the Screaming Frog Log File Analyser 1.0, codenamed ‘Pickled Onions’.
