[dspace-community] Re: [dspace-tech] Can I create the monthly stat report without calling "stat-report-monthly"?

[Andrea Schweer]

Hi Terry, it's my understanding that some of our clients use the content statistics parts of these reports -- ie I believe they ignore all statistics related to page views / downloads but do use number of items added in a given month (broken down by type) for their internal reporting. Some of them also look at the numbers for certain other actions/events, eg SWORD deposit attempts vs successful SWORD deposits, number of log-ins, and we've also added a few custom ones. These events are extracted from the DSpace logs where log messages follow a certain standard (see the LogManager#getHeader method) but that standard has not been enforced at all in the last few DSpace releases. It is my understanding that some of the actions in particular are only recorded in the DSpace log at this point, so there is no other way to capture them at this stage than to parse the logs. The stat-report-* cron jobs are only needed for JSPUI. All our clients' repositories use XMLUI, so we only run the stat-general and stat-monthly tasks. It has caused some confusion that reliable and not-so-reliable data is mixed together in these reports. It'd be great to have a nicer/prettier/more flexible way of getting those numbers you can't get elsewhere. Your REST-based reporting module may already expose most of that information, Terry -- I haven't used it, so I don't know :) cheers, Andrea On 01/12/2017 11:54 AM, Terry Brady wrote: I am re-sending this question hoping to get some additional feedback.  Alan, thank you for your earlier response. Is there a current recommendation on the use of the "legacy statistics" reports?  I see that these reports continue to be produced on demo.dspace.org. How trustworthy is the data generated from these reports?  Does the community recommend that these reports continue to be run? When I attempt to reconcile the data in this report with my solr statistics, I see significant differences. There are a couple of fields such as OAI requests and User logins that are not captured in solr statistics.

Anyways, this is the cron job I run every night: /dspace/bin/dspace stat-general && \ /dspace/bin/dspace stat-monthly && \ /dspace/bin/dspace stat-report-general && \ /dspace/bin/dspace stat-report-monthly Hope that helps.
