@Don Sizemore hi! During the #docs meeting just now, I said I'd ping your about analytics for https://guides.dataverse.org

Specifically, I thought a good place to start might be to install AWStats to parse the access logs. What do you think? I'm open to suggestions! :sweat_smile:

If I had to guess, I'd say 80%+ of the traffic are bots, but AWStats sounds like a fine place to start. Does AWStats need to upload results anywhere, or are its monthly graphs sufficient?

Monthly graphs would be splendid!

I'm going to install on star.dataverse.org which will get guides and metrics.

I agree with Don that it's interesting to see what the top pages are:

Can I get this in a data file that I can parse?

@Don Sizemore would you be so kind as to send @Charity Everett the logs? :heart:

Hi @Charity Everett , the concatenated logs are around 15MB, gzipped. How best to get them to you? G-drive, other?

G drive sounds great! Do you have a drive you can drop it in and share the linkor would you like me to create a folder?
