Claim:
1. A policy service logging system comprising: one or more servers connected by a network, the one or more servers configured to provide a graph structure comprising a plurality of nodes, each node in communication with at least one other node; the graph structure configured to process log entries of network resource requests subject to policy implemented by a policy service, each log entry recording at least a uniform resource locator (URL) of a content request made by a requesting computer and processed by the policy service, each log entry further recording an identity associated with the requesting computer, flow of log entries through the graph structure progressing from an upstream node to a downstream node; and the nodes configured to perform operations on the log entries, each node defining a discrete element of operational behavior for the graph structure, each node taking a log entry as input and providing at least the same log entry as output, the plurality of nodes configurable within the graph structure to define customizable policy service logging using corresponding discrete elements of operational behavior, the plurality of nodes including at least one entry node configured to receive log entries from the policy service, and the plurality of nodes further including at least one store node located in the graph structure downstream of the entry node and configured to store in long-term storage the same log entries received by the entry node for future reference.
