Capturing Mongo Data In Real Time

I have an app that we are releasing to a lot of users (more than ever before). I have a separate module that will grab all the mongo "stuff" (user ID, user innerface questions, etc., etc.), so I have a listing of everything the user does in regard to their interaction with the app. I was going to run it nightly to capture the day's activity.

BUT>>>>Then it occurred to me, that user can delete their workflow results in the Gallery, and that will erase all the mongo stuff.

I see no way to NOT give them the option to delete - it's automatically there in the UI.

Anyone come across this yet, and if so, how did you solve it?

Thanks.

You could chain the app and have the mongo info append to a yxdb (saved locally on the server) on every run. Then you'll have an up to the minute view on what people are doing in a separate persistent file.

Would that work though? If 10 people just happen to run the app at the same time, it could possibly be the case that the YXMD to capture the mongo is running at the same time. Can a YXMD be run at the same time for 10 (or however many) users?

Okay, so I have it set up where the once the app is done, an event fires off that runs the mongo capture module. It works but it does not pick up that app that was JUST run. If I run it again, then it gets the prior one, but not the one that current one. It's always one run behind.

Any thoughts? The event is configured to kick off after the app is complete.
