Some bots just traverse links from my main navigation not fetching any other links or resources. I want to log those crawls. Could do it in PHP using PiwikTracker but that would lead to duplicate pageviews from normal users. Javascript call and PHP call would be invoked one after another.

Any tips on accomplishing this?
Thanks!

For solution I was thinking about generating custom variable vith identification value, that would point to those duplicated calls. Registering two websites in Piwik UI -- "JS-calls" and second "PHP-calls". Later on by some means query the database for pageviews with this ID in "PHP-calls" that is not present in "JS-calls". Pageviews would be still duplicated but in different websites, and my db query would return visits I was describing.
Looking for some simplier way.
