Sugar Network/Node Statistics

Summary

This page describes the statistics that Sugar Network nodes generate. The statistics are about the entire server and not personalized. Note that the statistics are targeted for the interests of educational researchers rather than service maintainers, for technical details look for HTTP stats.

Statistics will be collected by analyzing regular requests to an API server and stored for each Sugar Network node. It will be possible to get direct access to these stats using node's API.

Common statistics

Statistics will be collected per Sugar Network resource type.

User

• user.total
  Total number of existing objects.

Context

• context.total
  Total number of existing objects.
• context.released
  Number of newly uploaded releases for specified time frame;
• context.retrieved
  Number of retrieving of Context releases for specified time frame;
• context.reported
  Number of newly uploaded failure Reports for specified time frame;

Post

• post.topics
  Total number of top-level Post objects;
• post.feedback
  Total number of dependent Post objects.

Per object statistics

While calculating common statistics, nodes generate per object sums as well.

These are the Sugar Network resources that will be affected:

Context properties:

• Context.rating
  Average rating given to the Context while reviewing, rating value is a tuple of votes sum and number of reviews;
• Context.retrieves
  Number of retrieves of Context releases.

Post properties:

• Post.rating
  Average rating given to the Post while reviewing, rating value is a tuple of votes sum and number of reviews.
