The "Administrative Statistics" are the (very old) legacy DSpace statistics pulled from log files, which pre-dated the Usage Statistics (based on Solr). They are only generated by running these commandline options:

[dspace]/bin/dspace stat-initial
[dspace]/bin/dspace stat-general
[dspace]/bin/dspace stat-monthly

The only reason they still exist is that the Usage Statistics don't provide all the same information (yet). The Usage Statistics are much more accurate in providing usage information (as these legacy, log-based stats do not filter out spiders or similar). But, the legacy, log-based stats do provide some unique administrative statistics, like the counts of the number of actions performed in your DSpace, etc.

Overall, the Usage Statistics are a much better resource for actual download/view statistics. But some people do enable these older statistics just to get an overview of overall site activity.

Hi-
Can someone tell me what the “Statistics” option is in the Administrative panel”, is it different then the “Usage Statistics” and whatnot in the “Statistics” section?


When I click on it I get the message:

There are currently no reports available for this service. Please check back later.

Thanks,
