Claim:
A system that includes one or more physical processors configured to: load, by an event tap at one or more Web servers, event data representative of Web server events associated with one or more events captured as a result of use of one or more Web pages supported by the one or more Web servers, wherein the event data is in a raw form not readily suitable for directly storing and processing by a distributed database system that includes multiple nodes operable to each independently store and process data for the database system; transform, by the event tap at the one or more Web servers, the event data from the raw form into a database representation format for storage and processing by the database system; and distribute, by the event tap at the one or more Web servers, the database representation format between the multiple nodes of the distributed database system at least by: selecting one of the multiple nodes of the database system as one selected node selected to directly store and process at least one portion of the database representation format of the event data; selecting another of the multiple nodes of the database system as another selected node selected to directly store and process at least another portion of the database representation format of the event data; arranging the at least one portion of the database representation format for delivery to the selected one node for processing by the one selected node directly; and arranging the other portion of the database representation format for delivery to the other selected node for processing by the other selected node directly.
