This project also contains a server, which is based on [[Sugar_Server_Kit/Active_Document|active-document]] and [[Sugar_Server_Kit/RESTful_Document|restful-document]], and is designed to be a part of the [[Platform_Team/Sugar_Network|Sugar Network]] and [[Sugar Server Kit/sugar-server|sugar-server]] implementations.

A standalone server might be launched using the {{Code|sugar-stats-server}} command from project sources. The easiest way is using the binary package [http://download.sugarlabs.org/packages/Server:/Factory/ sugar-stats-server]. The package contains these components:

In use, the library does not require any building routines, just provide the full path to the {{Code|active_document/}} subdirectory via the {{Code|PYTHONPATH}} environment variable.

For stats transferring from clients, it is useful to use secure, SSL connections. The server configuration needs to be tweaked (and the [[Sugar_Server_Kit/sugar-client#Usage statistics|client]] should use the same certificate):

* {{Code|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 {{Code|trust-users}} parameter.
 
 
 
=== Configuration ===
 
 
 
Read the {{Code|/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.):

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.

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.
