Hi Lewis, While I haven't taken to plotting it out myself, I think the data we generate would be sufficient to plot out a heatmap on a page, since many of the logs contain X,Y coordinate pairs. Using a library like heatmap.js or simpleheat you could probably get a decent overlay for a page that way. Dot plotting would be a similar answer with something like D3. Seeing where someone came from may be a bit tricky, since that'd rely on the referer (sic) header being set, which some clients may ignore. If you only wanted to track between pages on a particular domain, that may be a bit easier.
User Agent is currently picked up by our logstash logging endpoint, though any logging server could record it. For a better idea of what the client looked like (client fingerprinting), it may be better to perform various feature detection heuristics. Reconstructing a browser session is a bit ambiguous, since it may require even more fine grained recording, though it'd probably make a fairly good estimation. Hope that helps.
