Feature: logs treatment #38

Open jeranvier opened 13 years ago

jeranvier commented 13 years ago

The user wants to be able to see which users logged in a specific application and how many times.

The current reverse proxy "Cherokee" does not allow us to export logs to a database (except by using a cron task). However, the apache server allow us to format the access logs and to piped them to any application we want. The Idea would be to piped the logs to a program (using the CustomLog module: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog) which would format them as a Json file and then send it to a database (couchDB) via an HTTP request (using Curl for instance)

This thread may interest @christophe-lejeune since logs visualization would be a nice way to track if invited people really use their application.
