[ILUG] Web Access Monitoring

[John Malone]

Thought of squid?

Its a web proxy. It'll give you lots of logs similar ish to apache logs. 

Not sure how accurate the timing would be. The only way you'll know if
they have left the site is if they ask for another page. Even then they
could be using a different window. It's not really possible (that I know
of) to accurately find out whether a person is still looking at a web
site or not. If thats what your after...
