I am creating an Audit Interface for our Intranet Site (approximately 5000 users) which will allow a small group of Audit administrators’ access to search and view usage statistics (page visits, content changes, search queries etc). These administrators will be accessing the system a couple of times a week.
 
The SiteLog table has a lot of the information required and I would like your advice on the best way to use this data in the Audit Interface system.
 
Should I run a script each night to copy the information from the SiteLog table to a dedicated table in an Audit database or would I be able to read the data directly from the original SiteLog table without too much performance impact to our Intranet?
 
Thanks in advance.

it depends on the performance of your web site and especially the database - if additional queries will affect the performance, I suggest to store in external files or analyse server log files, both by using a log analyser tool like SmarterStats or AWStats.

Thanks for your comments Sebastian, we've decided to look into replicating the data from the DotNetNuke database to a dedicated Audit database.

If you need the data for audit purposes then you'll almost certainly want to routinely copy data over to a dedicated history table or external file as your DNN SITELOG info will expire based on the HOST setting as found under:

  HOST->HOST SETTINGS->OTHER SETTINGS->SITE LOG HISTORY (Days)
