What EdgeComet Log Analyzer is
EdgeComet Log Analyzer records real requests from search-engine and AI crawlers, including the page state each bot received. It helps teams examine crawling and indexing across large or complex websites, with coverage for Googlebot, Bingbot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot and Perplexity. Requests can show the title, meta description, canonical, robots directives, hreflang and structured data delivered in HTML. The analyzer classifies requests as valuable, questionable or wasted, with possible waste causes including errors, redirects, blocked URLs, non-canonical pages and rendering failures. It verifies bot identities by matching IP addresses against published ranges, supporting 35 real bot identities. Collection requires routing bot requests through EdgeComet via a CDN or proxy; it does not import or parse log files. Supported routing platforms include Cloudflare Workers, Fastly VCL, AWS CloudFront Lambda@Edge and nginx. The service includes an HTTP API and an MCP server, and its Apache-2.0 rendering and caching core can be self-hosted.
