Thanks Monika
So can you tell me how the Most recent general report is generated?
Are the numbers compiled from the dspace-log-general-%DATE%.dat files or
the dspace-log-monthly-%DATE%.dat files? (Or some other way?)
I take it the stat-report-general generates this report?
Thanks again for your help.
Regards
Gary

Yes the html reports are generated from dat files which are kept in
/dspace/log by default.
Yes the log files cycle. So if you do not regularly compute dat files
(where the digested numbers are recorded) you do loose information.
The reports probably stopped working when you upgraded because the
format of the log messages changed. The upgraded stats scripts/Java
Analyzer could not deal with the 'old' format. In 1.4.1 this was changed
so it can deal with both formats. Although the upgrade should have posed
a problem only for the month when you upgraded from 1.3 to 1.4.
To figure out what is going on, you need to look at what scripts you are
running each day/night. You should do stat-monthly, stat-general,
stat-report-monthly, and stat-report-general. These update the dat files
for the current month.
If you ran stat-initial after the upgrade without editing its default
start date (Jan-2005) you may have overwritten *dat files from previous
month for which the log events vanished because the log files rolled
over.
You may be able to recover these dat files if the /dspace/log directory
is backed up and your sys admin can get you the old versions.
Good luck with pursuing the elusive log info

Hi
I'm running DSpace v1.4.1 on RHEL v4.
When I upgraded from 1.3.2 last year to 1.4, the stat reports stopped
working. Then I upgraded to 1.4.1 and they are now working again, but
there seem to be a few issues:
i) apparently the general report used to generate
stats from day 0 (which was 7/2005) to now. Now the general report seems
to generate stats only for ~ the last 6 months.
ii) I've noticed the dspace.log files themselves are
cycling and dspace.log.500 gets popped off the end of the logs, so this
could be why. However, I was under the impression the reports were
generated from the .dat files, which seem to be there at least from the
beginning of 2006.
The monthly reports are all working fine from July 2005 to the present
day.
The powers that be are getting edgy about getting their precious
numbers, so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
