nope that's correct.

The best way would be to create a dedicated tool which would be
registred as a subscriber of the portal_eventservice that would react on
events and record the activities within an SQL database. We happened to
do that for some of our customer projects. You can then request directly
the SQL database using birt, for instance, to get reports.

Possibly, you will have to throw some new events at some places within
CPS. Feel free to send the patches for this if you choose this way. We
will integrate them.

$ZOPE_INSTANCE/log/z2.log or the apache log file if you are using apache
in front of Zope.

This kind of component should be easily portable since this won't
involve any skins, which is the objects that are not always surviving
updates.
