[horde] Statistics Module??

[Michael J. Pawlowsky]

I've actually wrote quite a few of these. I needed to keep all kinds of data around because the work I was doing fell under FDA regulations.
You have to be able to reproduce snapshots of the a site excatly how it was at any moment of time. So you track every single action on the site.
Every page view for every user, every change etc.
The amount of data builds up pretty fast.

For a system that is not regulated I suppose you could purge data and simply keep totals around.

All the info is all basically stored in the web logs to produce stats.
The only thing that I would like to add is the user name in the logs
which I've done before on Netscape Servers and I imagine can be done for apache also.
It simply meant writing an nsapi to write the logs.

Then it becomes simple matter of grouping the url's into meaningful categories. It also centralizes all the stats in one place.
