Since users have to authenticate on my system (which analyses internal
users accessing the Internet through a proxy server), we record their
login names in the logfiles. I wrote Unix shell and perl scripts to
separately analyse the logfiles for concurrency (how many users created
a log entry each minute), as well as counting up how many unique minutes
during the day that a user generated a log file entry. I know there are
some caveats to the stats, though, but it is useful in identifying
trends, or explaining performance slowdowns (when some major news event
(like 9/11) causes everyone to immediately check up on their favourite
news website!).

Is there any way to show how many users are logged in at a given time
Usually sites do that in real time; I'm sure you've seen sites where
the page announces "Currently 53 users are online" or somesuch phrase.
and possibly how long they are logged on for?
This is generally info your web application knows and report
generators don't.
You could generate your own log files with data such as this:
date/time in username
date/time out username length
Then feed those to Analog for reporting.
