I think you can use pretty much any datalog tool like Ngauge or SCT X4 to datalog. If you want to just check knock and timing, the cheapest option would be to get an OBD2 to bluetooth adapter and use the Torque app on a phone or tablet. You have to enter the knock PID as a custom PID with Torque. I think the app is also capable of datalogging, but I haven't tried that. I use a custom Android app to display a timing and knock gauge on the dash with Android Auto, and I keep an eye on it in real time.

I use the Ngauge and works nicely to display up to 6 PID's including knock and total spark advance.

Is there some sort of guide to doing this? I already have an obd2 bluetooth adapter that I use to display on a dash mounted tablet, but currently only displays few things of interest

Whipple sent me a beta of their software that does logging. Thanks for the advice.

The Android auto display, or the custom PID for knock? I found the custom PID searching around on this forum. Here is what I used and entered into the custom PID setup in Torque:

2203ec
Knock
Knock
-10.0
10.0
x1
deg
Signed(A)/2+(B/512)
Next three lines were blank then does not override.

For Android Auto display, the app was called OBD2AA and can be found on the XDA Labs forum. You have to do a few things if I remember correctly, like allowing your phone to run unsigned Android apps, get the XDA Labs app and download from there. I don't remember all of the steps exactly, but it was pretty well spelled out on the XDA forum. The app works pretty well for 1-2 guages, but it starts to lag pretty bad when you go up to 4-6 gauges.

The custom PID is what I was looking for, thank you! I tried one that I found through Google searching, didn't think about searching here lol, but I haven't been able to check it yet, I'll check both. Android Auto app would be good eventually, but for now I'll probably stick to having a tablet on the dash, which would also let me view videos on long road trips. For passengers, of course...
