We have a requirement to record details of items being viewed on some sites, in particular discussion boards, however the requirement is likely to be expanded to encompass viewing statistics on a number of lists and/or document libraries. The original requirement for discussion boards has been met by using a custom HTTP Module that records requests for views of discussion board threads (Discussions) and individual messages (Messages). However as the requirement is likely to expand, I'd like to examine the built-in auditing options.
I've used the Site Collection audit settings (<site collection>/_layouts/AuditSettings.aspx) and this seems to work okay. Unfortunately it's probably too indescriminate for our requirements. Does anyone know if there are performance problems with auditing everything at this broad a level? Alternatively I've created a Site Collection policy (<site collection>/_layouts/Policylist.aspx) and applying it to a discussion board results in no auditing information at all. The only thing audited is the change in audit policy. Does this experience ring true with anyone else? What is the consensus for recording audit information within SharePoint sites? Thanks, David.
