access_log not showing googlebot

Running plesk 8.6. Grep'ing access_log for "google" or "googlebot" but shows nothing. Yet webalizer shows constant access.

Should access_log show googlebot? Is there some reason that access_log would not show googlebot? Is there some other log to look at?

Thanks in advance,

As far as I know, webalizer uses the same access_log for statistics, so if webalizer shows it, I think there must be googlebot access in the logs. Have you attempted an IP-based search in the access_log?

Thanks. Problem was we were probing the main server access log. We should have been probing the access logs for the specific domains, each of which has its own folder. Doing so, we are now finding the googlebot entries.
