Is the unique.log where your site hits are being logged?
I'm running tc5.0.x. For that version you would change the pattern
attribute for the Valve doing the logging in server.xml (or context.xml
depending on config).
Just looked. It's the same in 5.5
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/valve.html
The last paragraph of the Access Log valve section mentions the
"combined" pattern.

Thanks Jon,
After reviewing your response ... I believe this fix is for a Apache
server? I am running Standalone Tomcat. It appears I need to somehow
log the user-agent and possibly referrer to my default access log. Is
this correct?
If this is the case, does anyone know how to do this with Tomcat log4j?
Here is my current properties file for logging:
log4j.rootCategory=INFO, R
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=C:/Tomcat5.5/logs/unique.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=1500KB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d - %5p (%C:%L) - %m%n
log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhos
t][/unique]=INFO, R

Looks like you are running the default access log settings.
For logging of user-agent and referer (when given) try:
CustomLog logs/access_log combined

I really would like to find out how my (and if my site) is being
indexed. I am using Tomcat 5.5 and I am running a ecommerce site. I
have
had nothing but trouble getting seen in search engines, so I would
like
to be able to somehow trace what pages robots are indexing.
I did add a robots.txt and allow my whole domain to be indexed. So
that
being said, I added an access log but by default, I cannot really tell
if I have users hitting my site, or when robots are visiting my site.
Below is my access_log from Saturday. What I would like to be able to
do, is distinguish between normal users, and robots. If I can verify
that the robots are indexing my site, I would be happy, and then know
I
need to work more meta. But if they are not indexing my site, then I
need to find out why.
Does this make sense? Has anyone been through this before? Thanks
ahead
of time,
