[Building Sakai] adding user event tracking to sitestats

[Adam Marshall]

Adrian Fish is midway through some Site Stats work for us - he's fleshing out the Entity Broker API so we can retrieve a specific pre-created report. This doesn't quite do what you're after but may be of some interest.

Subject: [Building Sakai] adding user event tracking to sitestats

We would like to add the ability to retrieve the actual event information (not just an aggregate count) for a particular user from the sitestats tool. Our user community is used to having this information available, as it was a standard feature of our previous LMS (WebCT) and was quite heavily used.

>From what I can tell, this could be done in a couple of ways:

1. On-demand querying of the sakai_event/sakai_session tables (maybe there is an API call for this instead?) when a user wants to see the event details

2. Add an extra table to sitestats to store the extended information rather than just the count

extremely slow, whereas option 2 is essentially duplicating a lot of information that already exists elsewhere

If anyone has done something like this before, or has any thoughts/opinions about the best approach, I'd be interested in hearing it.

Thanks,
