    Capturing User Session Details

    This question could be slightly ot for this forum but it's dead on descriptively - apologies in advance if admins need to move it.

    I have a relatively low-traffic site and, at least at the initial launch, i'd go so far as to say i'd like to play-back a given user session.

    Short of that, I'm looking for utilities and strategies that records users' interactions within my site - somewhere beyond raw log format - or even what I can produce with Log Parser on an ad hoc basis. Am willing to consider 3rd party $$ utilities but they have to be in the sub-enterprise bin. ;)

    In case its relevant, the site is an asp.net mvc web app.

    mny thx

    Re: Capturing User Session Details

    hi steve,

    What type of site is this? If its a media site, smooth streaming is looking to solve this problem by logging user actions from the client.  If its a typical website, logging will probably be your best (only?) option.  I've seen people add metadata to the querystring to make it easier to distinguish what the action is when parsing the logfile.

    I'm not sure about 3rd party utilities.  Sorry...
