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 versions might be added on demand.
Stats server
This project also contains a server, which is based on active-document and restful-document, and is designed to be a part of the Sugar Network and sugar-server implementations.
A standalone server might be launched using the sugar-stats-server command from project sources. The easiest way is using the binary package sugar-stats-server. The package contains these components:
sugar-stats-servercommand,/etc/sugar-stats.confdefault configuration,/etc/init.d/sugar-statsdaemon.
For stats transferring from clients, it is useful to use secure, SSL connections. The server configuration needs to be tweaked (and 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 the client side by Sugar Shell. To let the server check client signatures, OpenSSH-5.6+ should be installed on the server side. For versions lower than 5.6, authentication needs to be disabled using the trust-users parameter.
Configuration
Read the /etc/sugar-stats.conf for explanation, or run the following command to get the current configuration with comments:
sugar-stats-server config
These important parameters need to be set before using the server. (When sugar-stats-server is installed from packages, they are initialized to meaningful values.):
stats/stats-root = /var/lib/sugar-stats/rrd
Path to the root directory for placing stats;active-document/data-root = /var/lib/sugar-stats/users
Path to the root directory for placing users' metadata;
Getting the code
In use, the library does not require any building routines, just provide the full path to the active_document/ subdirectory via the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
See the examples/ subdirectory in the sources tree for usage examples.
Library requirements
- RRDtool python binding.

- sugar-client application that uses sugar-stats library.
