Is it possible to use google analytics for server side?

Question

Is it possible to use google analytics for server side? We are quite familiar with using google analytics for client side of things, but we found ourselves needing to keep track of server events as well. Where should we go for this? Ideally we want to make simple calls and it can help us track sessions length, frequencies, trends etc

I'm not looking for software that analysis and parse my log files. The apache log files is not sufficient, we need to know specific events inside each page.

Google Code contains this tool (if you're using PHP 5.2+):
