Check bots success POSTs in apache access log

Here is a one liner to check for IPs of bots that are misusing your site.

$ awk '$6 ~ /POST/ && $9 ~ /200/ {print $1 " " $7}' /var/log/httpd/access_log | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail

This will give you the top 10 IPs and URIs with a hit count.

Consider blocking those rogue IPs with a high hit count via iptables.
