set variables in Urchin 6

[leamas]

This may be a long shot but I'm curious if it is possible to set
variables so they get saved into the log file and then get parsed into
Urchin so I can show it on a report.

I have been reading that Google Analytics can do something similar by
using a setVar which enables a __utmv cookie.

I don't have an exact idea why I want to do this, but I wouldn't mind
playing around if it is possible and see what I can come up with.

Urchin 6 can also use the User Defined Variable (i.e. setVar) if you
have the UTM method enabled. It's set the same way that it is in
Google Analytics.

Thanks Jeremy,

So I was doing the right thing but it wasn't working because I was
placing it above urchinTracker();

My next question is how the __utmv cookie behaves. I was testing
around and depending on who was logged in, a different variable would
be set, for example "admin", "employee", "contrator". If I am using
the same computer but logging in and out of different people will
URCHIN still track the variables or does it bind IP address with 1
variable?

The reason I ask this question is because in my log I see the
variables in the log file, but only one shows up in the User-defined
Report.

Urchin will only show you the first reported User Defined Value for
any session. If you set the User Defined Value and then partway
through the session set it to something else, the new value won't show
up at all for the current session, but it will show up if the visitor
makes a subsequent visit, provided, of course, that the value doesn't
get overridden again.
