The status file is not, properly, a log; instead, it shows only current 
status.

If you want a log, you can either use traditional logging mechanisms 
(--syslog, --log or --log-append with an appropriate --verb) or use a 
scripting hook to write a log with exactly the information you want. A 
client-disconnect script which logs the desired info (out of the list of 
environment variables documented in the man page) might do exactly what 
you want.
