You can check when you site was last crawled by Google by entering a search term into Google that brings back your site i.e company/website name and clicking cached which is located at the end of your result.

This tells you the date located at the top.

Yes, you are right. Your log file can track Google visiting. It leaves the following track:
'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)'
Yahoo leaves another track:
'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)'

But, you can see it only if you run your site on your dedicated server and not using someone else hosting. As fas as I know, hosting companies don't give you an access to their log files. They might provide you with some tools which give you certain information about your visitors.

Have a great day,
Peter

I host with two companies and both of them provide me with log files relevant to my site. Having them will be an advantage. It will let you know how the users finds your site, the most frequently visited link etc. I think all hosting people will provide you with log files.

You can see through the site cached.. Or if you put google bots into your site, provide by google webmaster, there is an indication there when was the last time that the google bot visited your site..

the google cache is not a reliable way to tell when google came last.

it only caches once in awhile even if googlebot visits you every day
