Wow.

That is amazing.

You're opened my eyes to some huge possibilities.

I'll have a play with this.

Thanks Akira.

Hi Stanley,

Have a look at Splunk http://www.splunk.com/ the "google" for your log
files. There is no OpenSim specific splunk app available and therefore
getting something out of the logs is sometimes a bit tricky and certainly
involves some splunk knowledge. But it is powerful you can search for
anything as long as it is recorded in the (OpenSim) log. And then you can
make nice dashboards like this one:

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7219/6959038764_db32527082_b_d.jpg

And the best is ... you define one server as the central splunk instance (
indexer and query server ) and all the other servers you maintain as splunk
forwarders. Then you have a central place with all the logs from all the
sims you maintain. In the same time you can also gather some Unix or
Windows stats. and correlate them to your OpenSim data.

And all is free as long as you won't index more than 500 MB of Data per day
( depending on the number of servers you have to be careful on what data
you collect in what frequency. It is very configurable and having an eye on
the license volume is a good thing either ).


have fun,
Akira

Thanks Justin.

Some good pointers for Mark, Lorence and I to have a think about.

Hi Stanley.  As drwhiet alluded, you can get some information out of the 
various OpenSimulator statistics mechanisms [1]

You could record avatar numbers by periodically fetching stats with outside programs, as is done by some monitoring 
tools.  However, these tools run as separate process which can be a bit complicated.  They also won't give you more 
detailed information about visit times or duration since this information isn't provided in the stats interfaces.


The more detailed stuff could all be done with a C# region module (by listening for various events) but I'm not aware of 
any implementation at the moment.  And I'm not aware of anything that integrates with Google Analytics.  I'm not sure 
how one would do this as GA is oriented towards websites, but it would certainly be interesting to see if such 
integration is possible.


Off the top of my head, you could do a *very* rough and ready implementation by periodically executing the "show users" 
console command for each region and then writing a tool to scan the logs.  But this would be an extremely hacky and 
pretty fragile approach :)

Re: [Opensim-dev] OpenSim analytics

[drwhiet]

On my regions i use the  webstats module ; it writes such information to the
LocalUserStatistics.db
 file in the opensim folder. It is enabled by adding the following section
in your opensim.ini
 
[WebStats]
;; View region statistics via a web page
;; See http://opensimulator.org/wiki/FAQ#Region_Statistics_on_a_Web_Page
;; Use a web browser and type in the "Login URI" + "/SStats/"
;; For example- http://127.0.0.1:9000/SStats/
   enabled=true
 
You can than view those infos by pointing your browser to your ip.adress
(e.g. http://your.ip.adress./SStats/ )
I have my region infos in a Frameset -> http://spacefriends.de/osgrid.htm 
 
As i have connected my regions to the OSGRID i do not know if those infos
are also written when one is 
running his own Grid (Robust) ..
 
best regards,
Wordfromthe Wise

Hi everyone,

Where do I start in terms of OpenSim analytics?

For the region we have at my work place we are looking at tracking data such
as avatar numbers, visit times, visit duration.

Are there server side modules that integrate with Google Analytics?

Keen to hear from the collective wisdom of the list.

Thanks in advance!
