2832c235
TH
271
272=head1 DESCRIPTION
273
274This script create reports on newsgroup usage (number of postings per
275group per month) taken from result tables created by
edd250f2 276B<gatherstats.pl>.
2832c235 277
edd250f2 278=head2 Features and options
2832c235 279
edd250f2 280=head3 Time period and newsgroups
2832c235 281
edd250f2
TH
282The time period to act on defaults to last month; you can assign another
283time period or a single month (or drop all time constraints) via the
284B<--month> option (see below).
2832c235 285
edd250f2
TH
286B<groupstats> will process all newsgroups by default; you can limit
287processing to only some newsgroups by supplying a list of those groups via
288B<--newsgroups> option (see below). You can include hierarchy levels in
289the output by adding the B<--sums> switch (see below). Optionally
290newsgroups not present in a checkgroups file can be excluded from output,
291sse B<--checkgroups> below.
292
293=head3 Report type
294
295You can choose between different B<--report> types: postings per month,
296average postings per month or all postings summed up; for details, see
297below.
298
299=head3 Upper and lower boundaries
300
301Furthermore you can set an upper and/or lower boundary to exclude some
302results from output via the B<--lower> and B<--upper> options,
303respectively. By default, all newsgroups with more and/or less postings
304per month will be excluded from the result set (i.e. not shown and not
305considered for average and sum reports). You can change the meaning of
306those boundaries with the B<--boundary> option. For details, please see
307below.
308
309=head3 Sorting and formatting the output
310
311By default, all results are grouped by month; you can group results by
312newsgroup instead via the B<--groupy-by> option. Within those groups, the
313list of newsgroups (or months) is sorted alphabetically (or
314chronologically, respectively) ascending. You can change that order (and
315sort by number of postings) with the B<--order-by> option. For details and
316exceptions, please see below.
317
318The results will be formatted as a kind of table; you can change the
319output format to a simple list or just a list of newsgroups and number of
320postings with the B<--format> option. Captions will be added by means of
321the B<--caption> option; all comments (and captions) can be supressed by
322using B<--nocomments>.
323
324Last but not least you can redirect all output to a number of files, e.g.
325one for each month, by submitting the B<--filetemplate> option, see below.
326Captions and comments are automatically disabled in this case.
2832c235
TH
327
328=head2 Configuration
329
f2ddfd8a 330B<groupstats> will read its configuration from F<newsstats.conf>
2832c235
TH
331which should be present in the same directory via Config::Auto.
332
333See doc/INSTALL for an overview of possible configuration options.
334
edd250f2 335You can override some configuration options via the B<--groupsdb> option.

edd250f2 349=item B<-m>, B<--month> I<YYYY-MM[:YYYY-MM]|all>
2832c235 350
edd250f2
TH
351Set processing period to a single month in YYYY-MM format or to a time
352period between two month in YYYY-MM:YYYY-MM format (two month, separated
353by a colon). By using the keyword I<all> instead, you can set no
354processing period to process the whole database.
2832c235 355
edd250f2 356=item B<-n>, B<--newsgroups> I<newsgroup(s)>
2832c235
TH
357
358Limit processing to a certain set of newsgroups. I<newsgroup(s)> can
359be a single newsgroup name (de.alt.test), a newsgroup hierarchy
360(de.alt.*) or a list of either of these, separated by colons, for
361example
362
363 de.test:de.alt.test:de.newusers.*

edd250f2 365=item B<-s>, B<--sums|--nosums> (sum per hierarchy level)
2832c235 366
edd250f2
TH
367Include "virtual" groups for every hierarchy level in output, for
368example:
2832c235 369
edd250f2
TH
370 de.alt.ALL 10
371 de.alt.test 5
372 de.alt.admin 7
2832c235 373
edd250f2 374See the B<gatherstats> man page for details.
2832c235 375
edd250f2 376=item B<--checkgroups> I<filename>
2832c235 377
edd250f2
TH
378Restrict output to those newgroups present in a file in checkgroups format
379(one newgroup name per line; everything after the first whitespace on each
380line is ignored). All other newsgroups will be removed from output.
2832c235 381
edd250f2 382=item B<-r>, B<--report> I<default|average|sums>
2832c235 383
edd250f2 384Choose the report type: I<default>, I<average> or I<sums>
2832c235 385
edd250f2
TH
386By default, B<groupstats> will report the number of postings for each
387newsgroup in each month. But it can also report the average number of
388postings per group for all months or the total sum of postings per group
389for all months.
2832c235 390
edd250f2
TH
391For report types I<average> and I<sums>, the B<group-by> option has no
392meaning and will be silently ignored (see below).
2832c235 393
edd250f2 394=item B<-l>, B<--lower> I<lower boundary>
2832c235 395
edd250f2 396Set the lower boundary. See B<--boundary> below.
2832c235 397
edd250f2 398=item B<-l>, B<--upper> I<upper boundary>
2832c235 399
edd250f2 400Set the upper boundary. See B<--boundary> below.
2832c235 401
edd250f2
TH
402=item B<-b>, B<--boundary> I<boundary type>
403
404Set the boundary type to one of I<default>, I<level>, I<average> or
405I<sums>.
406
407By default, all newsgroups with more postings per month than the upper
408boundary and/or less postings per month than the lower boundary will be
409excluded from further processing. For the default report that means each
410month only newsgroups with a number of postings between the boundaries
411will be displayed. For the other report types, newsgroups with a number of
412postings exceeding the boundaries in all (!) months will not be
413considered.
414
415For example, lets take a list of newsgroups like this:
416
417 ----- 2012-01:
418 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 6
419 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
420 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
421 ----- 2012-02:
422 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 8
423 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
424 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
425 ----- 2012-03:
426 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 24
427 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 83
428 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 36
429
430With C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --report sums>,
431you'll get the following result:
2832c235 432
edd250f2
TH
433 ----- All months:
434 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
435 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 124
2832c235 436
edd250f2
TH
437de.comp.datenbanken.misc has not been considered even though it has 38
438postings in total, because it has less than 25 postings in every single
439month. If you want to list all newsgroups with more than 25 postings U<in
440total>, you'll have to set the boundary type to I<sum>, see below.
628a183c 441
edd250f2
TH
442A boundary type of I<level> will show only those newsgroups - at all -
443that satisfy the boundaries in each and every single month. With the above
444list of newsgroups and
445C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary level --report sums>,
446you'll get this result:

45225 postings in 2012-02.

454You can use that to get a list of newsgroups that have more (or less) then
455x postings during the whole reporting period.
2832c235 456
edd250f2
TH
457A boundary type of I<average> will show only those newsgroups - at all -that
458satisfy the boundaries on average. With the above list of newsgroups and
459C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary avg --report sums>,
460you'll get this result:
78389b28 461
edd250f2
TH
462 ----- All months:
463 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
464 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 145
2832c235 465
edd250f2 466The average number of postings in the three groups is:
2832c235 467
edd250f2
TH
468 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 12.67
469 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 97.67
470 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 48.33
2832c235 471
edd250f2
TH
472Last but not least, a boundary type of I<sums> will show only those
473newsgroups - at all - that satisfy the boundaries with the total sum of
474all postings during the reporting period. With the above list of
475newsgroups and
476C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary sum --report sums>,
477you'll finally get this result:
2832c235 478

479 ----- All months:
480 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 38
481 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293

2832c235 486

TH
487By default, all results are grouped by month, sorted chronologically in
488ascending order, like this:
78389b28 489
edd250f2
TH
490 ----- 2012-01:
491 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
492 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
493 ----- 2012-02:
494 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
495 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
78389b28 496
edd250f2
TH
497The results can be grouped by newsgroups instead via
498B<--group-by> I<newsgroup>:
499
500 ----- de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access:
501 2012-01 84
502 2012-02 126
503 ----- de.comp.datenbanken.mysql:
504 2012-01 88
505 2012-02 21
506
507By appending I<-desc> to the group-by option parameter, you can reverse
508the sort order - e.g. B<--group-by> I<month-desc> will give:
509
510 ----- 2012-02:
511 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
512 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
513 ----- 2012-01:
514 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
515 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
516
517Average and sums reports (see above) will always be grouped by months;
518this option will therefore be ignored.
519
520=item B<-o>, B<--order-by> I<default[-desc]|postings[-desc]>
521
522Within each group (a single month or single newsgroup, see above), the
523report will be sorted by newsgroup names in ascending alphabetical order
524by default. You can change the sort order to descending or sort by number
525of postings instead.
526
527=item B<-f>, B<--format> I<pretty|list|dump>
528
529Select the output format, I<pretty> being the default:
530
531 ----- 2012-01:
532 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
533 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
534 ----- 2012-02:
535 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
536 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
537
538I<list> format looks like this:
539
540 2012-01 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
541 2012-01 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
542 2012-02 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
543 2012-02 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
544
545And I<dump> format looks like this:
546
547 # 2012-01:
548 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
549 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
550 # 2012-02:
551 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
552 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
553
554You can remove the comments by using B<--nocomments>, see below.
555
556=item B<-c>, B<--captions|--nocaptions>
557
558Add captions to output, like this:
559
560 ----- Report for 2012-01 to 2012-02 (number of postings for each month)
561 ----- Newsgroups: de.comp.datenbanken.*
562 ----- Threshold: 10 => x <= 20 (on average)
563 ----- Grouped by Newsgroups (ascending), sorted by number of postings descending
564
565False by default.
566
567=item B<--comments|--nocomments>
568
569Add comments (group headers) to I<dump> and I<pretty> output. True by default.
570
571Use I<--nocomments> to suppress anything except newsgroup names/months and
572numbers of postings. This is enforced when using B<--filetemplate>, see below.
573
574=item B<--filetemplate> I<filename template>
575
576Save output to file(s) instead of dumping it to STDOUT. B<groupstats> will
577create one file for each month (or each newsgroup, accordant to the
578setting of B<--group-by>, see above), with filenames composed by adding
579year and month (or newsgroup names) to the I<filename template>, for
580example with B<--filetemplate> I<stats>:
581
582 stats-2012-01
583 stats-2012-02
