Extraction and capture of information from customizable header

A database system, comprising:

• a processing system;
• a memory device coupled to the processing system, the memory device having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processing system, cause the processing system to perform operations comprising:
• parsing a header section of a communication associated with a logged interaction of a user for a predetermined data pattern associated with a subsequently added portion of the header section being added to the header section by a second application that is different than a first application that generates the communication;
• extracting the subsequently added portion included in the communication based on the parsing of the header section locating the predetermined data pattern;
• and
• generating a storage element that associates the subsequently added portion with event data taken from the logged interaction of the user;
• and
• a distributed database configured to store the storage element.

A computer program stored on a tangible medium for a database system, the computer program comprising a set of instructions operable to:

• receive, by the database system, a communication associated with a logged interaction of a user, the communication including one or more headers and event data;
• parse, by the database system, the one or more headers for a predetermined data pattern received from a remote device and associated with a custom portion added to the one or more headers;
• extract, by the database system, the custom portion from the one or more headers in response to locating the predetermined data pattern in the one or more headers during the parsing;
• and
• store, by the database system, a storage element containing the extracted custom portion and the event data.
