    This is outstanding application, i have been using it since its alpha release. This app can be use to detect bad crawlers, web abuser and plenty of other run time on the fly analysis, this http://www.hackersgarage.com/goaccess-on-rhelcentos-6-linux-real-time-apache-log-analyzer.html may help for installing it on rhel/centos 6.
