A new open source project was started on the ARwiki site. The program is a statistics collector for the mid-tier. Thorough documentation is available on the project website. This is the summary of the project from the project website:
<summary> The Mid-tier Browser Statistics Collector provides a method to collect statistics on your web-based Remedy users. This is accomplished by extending the mid-tier to capture this information. All statistics are recorded in a Remedy form after they are collected. One of the objectives of this project is performance. The Browser Stats application will add virtually no load time to your Remedy forms. I say virtually because there will be a minuscule increase in the load time because the client's browser must download (< 10 kilobytes) and interpret the javascript that is added to your Remedy forms. The creation of the records in Remedy to store the data is performed asynchronously and will not impact the load time of the mid-tier page. The goal of this project is to provide insight into the web based users of your Remedy applications. Valuable information is gathered on the users of your system that can assist in design decisions when developing Remedy applications and interfaces for the web. A sample of the information collected includes: * Screen Resolution * Color Depth * Language * AR Form Name * AR User Name * HTTP Session ID (for aggregating data) * Browser Type * Request Data (http headers, session data, etc.) </summary> I have tagged an alpha release in the source tree, but have not yet written the build scripts to provide an end user distribution. At this point, the only way to get and run the software is to check out a copy from subversion, compile it, then install it. This process is documented fairly well in the project website. Project links: - Project Website: http://arswiki.org/projects/browserstats - Source Mailing List: http://lists.arswiki.org/listinfo/browserstats-source-changes - Discussion Mailing List: http://lists.arswiki.org/listinfo/browserstats-devel This software is available under the terms of the BSD license. Some upcoming features include: - Flashboards to present graphical representations of the data - DV Plugin to draw the navigation path for a session given session - A utility to automate the stats tracking for all forms or a subset of forms (this is currently a manual process) I plan to have release 1.0 with the build scripts to create end user downloads in place in the next week or two. The servlet is a little messy, and I'm reaching out for help from anyone who has java experience to help me clean it up.
