Wayne,
You might want to ask this of the EZProzy list. I can tell you what we do
here. First, we have the following options open:
Option LogUser
LogFormat %h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b %u
Basically the LogUser option was added to track possible abuse. It also,
combined with the LogFormat, allows me to pick out only 302 returns for
initial log-ins and connections (connections are added because one can to a
different DB having once logged in).
I am sure others use some sort of web-analyzing tool. I've been content
running the log through Microsoft Access and extracting the part of the log
I need usage statistics. (OK, I also make use of Google Analytics and
looking a bit, I just might make more use of the regular expressions to
filter the results accordingly).
