[Building Sakai] Site Stats tool

[Fatima Rahiman]

Thanks Steven. I'm not exactly sure what the issues are ..save for the fact that it appears to be clogging up our server. I'm hoping our developers, who are on this list,  will respond more intelligibly.

Hi Fatima,

If you are seeing issues with it writing to your current database, you can configure it to write to an external database.

What are the problems you have? It would be worthwhile fixing the sitestats tool if its the problem, as then many others would benefit too. The architecture is fairly simple - observe events, filter the ones that it is watching for, kick off a thread and perform a calculation and an update/insert of the aggregated data.

cheers,
Steve

Just wanted to enquire if there are any institutions  NOT  using the built in Stat's tool due to the systems architectures 's unique configuration settings  ( of which I am clueless as to what this entails  ..not a developer sorry!) but which when combined with the use of the STATS tool  compromises performance of the system due to the voluminous size of the database because of excessive entries into the site stats tables daily.

We're now having to develop our own stats tool to track usage ...just perplexed why we're not able to use the built in Stats tool   given the well  documented configuration options and performance considerations. But maybe we're not the sole institution having to do this?
