Hi Dennis,

How about URL? And why not just parse the raw server logs?

Ethically? I think you're going too far already.

What is the purpose of your logs and how will they be used?

I've seen it happen that people initially just start collecting
information that nobody really needs (like IP/Host/Browser/OS) then it
gradually becomes a subversion of that information - STILL not really
necessary - but collected and accounted beyond the needs of the
business and wasting resources to do it.

Seriously consider *why* you're collecting this information before you
dedicate your resources (time, manpower, processor, disk space, and
ram) to it. Are you really wanting to have to provide completely
irrelevant reports to your boss (mind you most of that data can be
faked) from now 'til doomsday?
