Sameer,
Given you are talking about different applications aren't they using
different databases? If they happen to be sharing a database then you
have already identified the differentiator - Application Name.
And I agree with Steve on this... Logging to the database provides a lot
more flexibility than trying to extract session information from a web
log. I actually use two tables for logging - a 'session' table and an
'activity' table, where the activity table holds the sessionId as a
foreign key. It's an overhead but it makes reporting *so* easy...

Gets the same session ID although the application is different
The point here,
its difficult to track what this user is doing unless we could track/log
- IP Address
- Session ID
- Application name

can you just clarify:
for each user:
multiple applications each with one single session
or
multiple applications each with multiple sessions (each session is a
diff browser instance)
thanx

Yes they do log in.
And there may be a situation where our staff members have 3-4
different
application/session instances on the same machine.
In that case, logging browser and IP address isnt enough. Maybe a
combination of application name, IP, sessionID would make sense.

Are they logging in? I've never done it for a straight Internet site,
Webtrnds was eno9ugh. But for a log-in situation, I typically grab
the user's browser and IP and what page they hit and when. I
then report it
back to the user as a way for them to ensure their password has not
gotten away from them, as well as let managers understand the activity
of their staff within the application.

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

Sameer S. Kekade.
