User Tracking and Observation

Question

Does Portal provide user tracking (observing/storing user behavior at the website) functionality out-of-box or is this a special add-on product?
For user tracking capabilities do you need to stay in the Portal30 schema or can we create our own custom tables that would store user information and tune portal to read from those tables? What is the best practice?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Portal provides its own monitoring tools to portal administrators. If you want to create a personalized procedure, portal stores such tracking information in wwlog_activity_logs. Just select from it like:
select userid, http_remote_address
from portal30.wwlog_activity_logs
where start_time >= some date
and action in ('login');
