[Using Sakai] Inconsistent Event Logs between Site Stats & Forums

[Katie Golus]

We've been noticing some very drastic disparities between SiteStats and
Forums in terms of event counts, particularly around posting responses.

On 10/8/14, Harold Hale and I did the following in a Forum:

   - Katie created one Conversation.
   - Harold made one reply to the Conversation.
   - Katie made one reply to the Conversation.

*Forums reflects these actions as:*
Name[image: Sort By Name] Authored  Read  Unread  Percent Read









 Golus, Katie 2 2 1 67%  Hale, Harold 1 2 1 67%













*Below is the Site Stats log of those same actions:*


Name            Event                Date       Total

Golus, Katie    New thread   10/8/14    2
Golus, Katie    Read thread   10/8/14    2
Golus, Katie    Response thread   10/8/14    3
Hale, Harold    New thread   10/8/14    1
Hale, Harold    Read thread   10/8/14    2
Hale, Harold    Response thread   10/8/14    3
Both agree on the number read (and that seems consistent with what we would
have viewed based on the order we posted), but they're very different in
terms of the new and responded counts, even after only one new conversation
and a single response each.  When I look at active course sites, the counts
in SiteStats are easily several hundred higher than I expect them to be.

Can anyone explain the SiteStats log?  Even knowing for sure if it
consistently double counts some actions would be useful in helping us and
faculty understand what SiteStats means by these labels and numbers.

Thanks,
Katie
