Summary
Library to gather Sugar usage statistics. The gathering method is based on sniffing DBus and X11 events.
Supported Sugars
- 0.94
More (0.86+) Sugar version might be added on demand.
Stats server
Project contains also a server which is based on active-document and restful-document and designed to be a part of Sugar Network and sugar-server implementations.
Standalone server might be launched using sugar-stats-server command from project sources. The easiest way is using binary package sugar-stats-server. The package contains:
sugar-stats-servercommand,/etc/sugar-stats.confdefault configuration,/etc/init.d/sugar-statsdaemon.
For stats transfering from clients, it is useful to use secure SSL connection. Server configuration needs to be tweaked (the client should use the same certificate):
stats-keyfile, path to server's private key,stats-certificate, path to server's certificate file.
Server will authenticate clients using SSH keys generated on client side by Sugar Shell. To let server check client signatures, OpenSSH-5.6+ should be installed on server side. For less than 5.6 versions, authentication needs to be disabled using trust-users parameter.
Configuration
Read the /etc/sugar-stats.conf for explanation or run the following command to get current configuration with comments:
sugar-stats-server config
The important parameters that need to be set before using the server (for sugar-stats-server installed from packages there are initialized by meaningful values):
{{{1}}}
Path to the root directory to place stats;{{{1}}}
Path to the root directory to place documents' data and indexes;
Getting the code
Library requires:
- RRDtool python binding.
For using, library does not require any building routines, just provide full path to the active_document/ subdirectory via PYTHONPATH environment variable.
See examples/ subdirectory in the sources tree for usage examples.
