NOTE: I know the various reasons to avoid using the session, but this is a project I’ve inherited, so please skip that part of any replies 🙂

Since it’s a solved problem, I’m hoping someone can point to an ELMAH patch/branch/fork that includes logging session data rather than reinventing the wheel.

One weird thing is an older post from Atif that says they’re already logged:

commenter henningst mentioned adding in the session variables here:

Another approach (I’d rather avoid) is copying the values into cookies

I know one alternative is to switch to something besides ELMAH (like Exceptioneer – see http://exceptioneer.com/Public/ExceptioneerAndELMAH.aspx) but since this is my only problem with ELMAH at the moment, I’d rather just have a patched ELMAH than switch to something else.
