Question

Tracking user views of data

Is there any way within CF logs to track what data the user is seeing in an application? In other words, a user visits a page where a cfquery runs, and data is output to that page. I'm running CF9 and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 in a Windows Server.

I need a way to track this, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    We have an application that does something similar.  We insert records into an activities table that includes such fields as the user_id, page, and search parameters.

    There is nothing out-of-the-box for ColdFusion to log the data that is displayed on the page.  It can log the page itself.

    I do that kind of tracking with all of my apps.  It is invaluable data when issues arise.  You just need to manage it yourself.  You could use cflog to log to a file but I would recommend using a database instead for more flexibility and growth.  Then you can track whatever you need.
