With the release of DSpace 1.6, new statistics software component was added. DSpace's The use of SOLR Solr for statistics in DSpace makes it possible to have a database of statistics. This With this in mind, there is the issue of the older log files and how a site can use them. The following command process is able to convert the existing log files and then import them for SOLR Solr use. The user will need to perform this conversion only once.

The Log Converter program converts log files from dspace.log into an intermediate format that can be inserted into SOLRSolr.

Command used:

[dspace]/bin/dspace stats-log-converter

Arguments short and long forms):

Description

-i or --in

Input file

-o or --out

Output file

-m or --multiple

Adds a wildcard at the end of input and output, so it would mean dspace.log* would be converted. (For example, the following files would be included because of this argument: dspace.log, dspace.log.1, dspace.log.2, dspace.log.3, etc.)

-n or --newformat

If the log files have been created with DSpace 1.6

For developers: allows you to import a log file from another system, so because the handles won't exist, it looks up random items in your local system to add hits to instead.
