For reporting you would import the logs into a program that analyzes it, there are a few free ones out there, or even cheap ones.
Otherwise create your own, but I still would not let the application log anything. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sameer Kekade Sent: Monday, 11 July 2005 11:24 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: Session tracking / User activity monitoring Importance: High A valid point raised, Taco Webserver logs are not that good when it comes to running adhoc reports, unless its fed to another application to analyse it. Although dumping this to a table with fewer indexes may do the trick. Warm Regards, Sameer S.

Logging the same properties as the web server does from within the application would surely bring it to its knees on a production server with high traffic. ________________________________ Taco Fleur - E-commerce Development Manager Shelco Searches & Services An Authorised ASIC Information Broker www.shelco.com.au Ph: + 61 7 3236 2605 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sameer Kekade Sent: Monday, 11 July 2005 10:52 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Session tracking / User activity monitoring Hey Guys, I need some pointers on how session tracking/ user activity monitoring is done like they have in FarCry. We need to track the user-activities within our website like - The path they take - Sections they visit - Current active users on the website I thought of logging it onto a csv log file but then its difficult to manage them. Another option would be logging these activities onto a database table. Has anybody done something like this before? Thanks in advance Regards, Sameer S.
