Hello, I was checking my apache log file and I found the following entry, can someone let me know what this means and is it something I need to be concerned about,
GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 482 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm
Thank you,

This log does not look complete to me. The date/time, remote machine IP address and requested URL are missing.
We can break down your log as follow:
GET / HTTP/1.1 = Http get request.
" 200 482 "= Http response which was 200 and it took the server 482 ms to response.
-" = something is missing
"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm = The browser user agent.
I checked on one of my servers for Bing bot and here is what I have:
157.55.34.179 - - [06/Mar/2013:08:24:57 -0600] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 114 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm)"
As you can see, the log which you had provided is not complete.
