Hi As part of the PIRUS2 project [1] we are examining approaches to collecting usage statistics from Fedora repositories.
We are interested in hearing of existing approaches to this topic. Do you collect usage information? If so, how? Some methods that I can think of are: 1) Fedora behind Apache, collecting information from Apache logs giving direct Fedora access information 2) Fedora front-end behind Apache, collecting information from Apache logs giving front-end access information 3) Tomcat log files 4) Other logging from Fedora front-end applications 5) Collecting information directly from Fedora logs 6) Use of services such as Google Analytics Any experiences of, or thoughts on, any of the above methods would be most useful, together with anything not covered by the above. Currently Fedora doesn't log access attempts apart from in the Fedora log file, which may not be ideal as the format of this may change over time, since it is not by design logging access attempts in a standard format I believe. Any correction on this point most welcome! Fedora management requests can be collected as part of the messaging module. One potential is to extend messaging to encompass access requests so these can be collected by a suitable messaging client. Another option would be to build access logging directly to a file within Fedora. Any thoughts on developing either/both of these would be most welcome; either as an add-on module or within core code.
