Hello, friends,
We just launched a website programmed using asp.net. Now, we want to monitor
it so see who is online, when the user logs in/out, which pages he/she
visits, etc.
What are the good approaches to do this? Should we write code to do this, or
there are tools we may utilize?
Thanks a lot for any ideas/suggestions/reference papers/etc.

The built-in ASP.NET Membership, Role and Profile providers provide most of
this information "out of the box". Check the ASP.NET QUICKSTART tutorials for
sample code.

If your site is deployed to a web hosting service (in other words you're not
running your own servers) then they likely provide statistics with many
useful metrics. Be sure to double check this before reinventing the wheel.
