Splunk is a reasonably new tool that makes log files searchable,
similar to a google query of your log files. http://www.splunk.com/

mod_log_sql isn't so much an analyzer as it is a different method of
storing log files. Instead of dumping them into a file and parsing
them from flat text, it stores them directly in an sql database. You
can query however you want from the database, and gather any
information you want. Since it's input in realtime, you can (assuming
enough horsepower on the system) query it in real time to see what
people are doing at that instant. One site we have adjusts a "top
rated links" based on what people are doing at the time.

awstats is excellent for general logfile analysis of web traffic.
There are tons on freshmeat/sourceforge that I haven't mentioned or
don't know about that are probably excellent as well.
