Yeah, unfortunately you can't access individual session structures to get this information. You will have to log the data to a central location as you have been doing. What you could do is have page requests update a timestamp variable in the application scope keyed on the user's CFID. Any timestamp that is over x minutes old can be assumed to have timed out. Actual logouts can either destroy the key or update it in some way to reflect this. This isn't too far off what you have been doing except for the estimating timed out sessions bit and the storing in the application scope.
