Can I please get some more help with this, as I'm not sure how to proceed

Shariq,
I note that you say please, but you've already got 3 answers, 2 of them
pretty detailed, in just over 24 hours since your initial post. Now you
are asking people to go dig into the code and give you precise answers on
specific lines of it.
Tomcat is free and open-source, and the people on this list are volunteers
who generally have a $ job which takes precedence. A bit of patience thus.
Understood and thanks for all the help! I have dug deep into the source my
self and was hoping to get some clarification on my approach, I am pretty
familiar with the code base now so thoughts that may pop up to investigate
further is just fine.
Maybe you are not getting the level of interest that you expect, because
people feel like you are trying to redo things that have already been done
? or maybe because you seem to ignore the advice that you've already been
given (memo : for your stated goal, use the AccessLogValve and the log it
produces; process the log and you'll get what you are after, without overly
affecting the very operations which you are trying to measure).
Or else explain convincingly why that would not work for you.
Alright, the reason is that we've built a activity monitoring system on top
of cassandra, hadoop & hive, and want to reuse the same for all analytics
related webapps too. I understand that we can use a tool that process logs,
but that means we need to bring in more external tools, plus we are
extracting more data for our analytics stuff, in the valve we've written.
On the other hand AccessLogValve is a valve, in my understanding we should
be able to write another valve and extract stuff similar to the way its
done in ALValve. However in the custom valve we've written the output are
different, hence my query as to the inconsistent behavior ...
Ok, understood. Unfortunately, I cannot help you further myself, but hopefully this
explanation will motivate more people to try to help.
Note that a Valve is something specific to Tomcat. If you want portability, then you
should rather look at servlet filters. A servlet filter "wraps" the webapp, so it is
there both on the request and the response side, and it should be able to collect the
information you're after.
With the previous caveats though : it will measure the times and data volumes around your
webapps, but not really the "bandwidth" (except in a very broad sense).
