Hmmm. I'd now be wondering how much I could trust the data in my results, as I 
would may not be aware if the problem returned. Maybe your caching situation 
changed (proxy's etc). At least I'd still have a looks at the headers which 
are returned as a result of the GET request for the web bug - you really 
don't want any caching there. (e.g. wget -S <url>).

Just spend time trying things. 

I don't like jpgraph - the graph package which is used - somehow I just find 
the graphs ugly, and it's not easy to (for instance) plot results of 
hits/time for more than one URL on a graphs. I tend to output results in an 
array and process elsewhere.

I've started design work on a generic front end for some functions creating, 
saving and managing reports (and running at routing intervals, delivery by 
email usually as queries on my data take many minutes at times (my normal 
http server logs run to about 3GB per day uncompressed, it's a busy site). 
Front end will use http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2601.html for 
graphing, not jpgraph. Clickpaths probably will still need graphviz. Maybe my 
boss will let me put a OSS license on it so I can contribute code once it is 
done. We'll see.
