[Zope] Site statistics

Hello Gitte,
I am using webalizer to access my log files for zope, the Z2.log file, I
have a cronjob that runs every evening


55 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/virtual /usr/local/bin/webalizer -n myzope -o
/www/htdocs/zope/stats/ /usr/local/Zope/var/Z2.log

this gives me some of the info I need.

Although, being in the publishing industry, we require additional
information, from our registered site users. I would like to be able to
analyse for each user where they went, which page and be able to break this
by their demographic data.

Would any one has good pointers on where I can find info for analysing ZODB
data -- for example:
how would you request zodb to tell you how many records within a certain geo
area there are? I did post a question on the ZODB mail list
http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zodb-dev/2001-June/001034.html

and got a reply, that suggested that I needed to look OO databases
differently -- as it seems I understand better from examples, could somebody
be kind enough to perhaps send me couple of examples that analyse the data
from the ZODB

Thanks

Norman

Hello,

I was just wondering if Zope logs who visits what on a site ???

Usually everything that happens on your webpages (when you e.g. use apache)
ends up in you webservers access_log.
But does ZServer logs the same ?

If so - has anyone created a product to get this data out of the log files
and  display them on a webpage ??
Before I started on Zope, I was using something called webalizer.

Or - is it hard to "analyze" a log file and display the data from it ???

Regards,
Gitte Wange
