User tracking - filter events

Extending Umbraco

Umbraco 7
Hello bros,

i need to track user activity in the way of: date + ip + url + some other data. Becaose of datamining (yes we are using Google Analytics, but we need to do more custom tasks).

Question: Which event i should use? I found EndRequest and LogRequest these events handles every request (including images, api calls etc.). Regarding to this thread it is becaose of local IIS http://forums.asp.net/t/1027556.aspx?HttpModule+s+BeginRequest+event

Example for logged urls:
```
/umbraco/RestServices/ScheduledPublish/Index
/Docs/image.jpg 
/umbraco/ping.aspx
...all request made by browser (around 40 for one page load )
```
So i need to do stuff like this to get rid of this mess:
```
if (!url.EndsWith(".js") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".css") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".jpg") && 
     ...etc...
     !url.EndsWith(".aspx") &&
     !url.Contains("_browserLink"))
{
    UserLogService.AddActivity(GetIPAddress(), url);
}
```
But isnt there any better way? Any other event i should use or better way to filter request?

Becaose there will be long list of stuff tu exclude from log. What about performance? I know these operations for filtering are fast, but still...

Thank you for your ideas and hints. M.

Hello, if someone need my solution - im using this code:

var url = Current.Request.Url.LocalPath.ToString();
if (!url.EndsWith(".js") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".css") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".jpg") && 
     !url.EndsWith(".png") && 
     !url.EndsWith(".ttf") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".woff") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".svg") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".aspx") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".html") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".ashx") &&
     !url.EndsWith(".axd") &&
     !url.Contains("app_plugins") &&
     !url.Contains("App_Plugins") &&
     !url.Contains("umbraco") &&
     !url.Contains("_browserLink"))
{
     UserLogService.AddActivity(IPAddresHelper.GetIPAddress(), url);
}

Hello, Im using this code in ApplicationEventHandler as follows:

public class EventLogUser : ApplicationEventHandler { private Stopwatch stopwatch;

    protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    {
        UmbracoApplicationBase.ApplicationInit += UmbracoApplicationBase_ApplicationInit;  
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Bind to the events of the HttpApplication
    /// </summary>
    void UmbracoApplicationBase_ApplicationInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var app = (HttpApplication)sender;
        //Good for performance tests
        //app.EndRequest += umbracoApplication_EndRequest;
        app.BeginRequest += app_BeginRequest;
        app.PostAuthorizeRequest += umbracoApplication_EndRequest;
    }

    void app_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
        stopwatch.Start();
    }

    void umbracoApplication_EndRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {            
        var url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.LocalPath.ToString();
        if (!url.EndsWith(".js") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".css") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".jpg") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".ico") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".png") && 
            !url.EndsWith(".ttf") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".woff") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".svg") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".aspx") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".html") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".ashx") &&
            !url.EndsWith(".axd") &&
            !url.Contains("app_plugins") &&
            !url.Contains("App_Plugins") &&
            !url.Contains("bundles") &&
            !url.Contains("umbraco") &&
            !url.Contains("_browserLink"))
        {
            stopwatch.Stop();

            UserLogService.AddActivity(IPAddresHelper.GetIPAddress(), url, stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds,"");
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps you. M.
