How do I monitor who is crawling a website?
How can I easily detect and manage who is crawling a website, in order to avoid bad intentions like increasing the server load. The website is run on LAMP.
I am using:
netstat -t -u -c
to monitor the connections and also the following utilities: nethogs, jnettop, iftop to check on more data, but is there a better way to do this and even automate it to send an email when detecting unusual activity and even classify bad crawlers from good crawlers.

Your Apache access log (/var/log/apache2/access.log) should tell you everything....
