It really depends on how much data you are logging. Based on the limited amount of data in this tutorial the overhead is slight not significant. There are many log analysis tools that provide an excellent resource for viewing and interpreting log data. However, many webmasters and site owners do not have access to their logs or want to be able to monitor specific types of traffic.
Thank you for responding.
