=head1 NAME

groupstats - create reports on newsgroup usage

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<groupstats> [B<-Vhiscqd>] [B<-m> I<YYYY-MM>] [B<-p> I<YYYY-MM:YYYY-MM>] [B<-n> I<newsgroup(s)>] [B<-t> I<threshold>] [B<-l> I<level>] [B<-b> I<number>] [B<-o> I<output type>] [B<-g> I<database table>]

See doc/README: Perl 5.8.x itself and the following modules from CPAN:

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script create reports on newsgroup usage (number of postings per
group per month) taken from result tables created by
F<gatherstats.pl>.

The time period to act on defaults to last month; you can assign
another month via the B<-m> switch or a time period via the B<-p>
switch; the latter takes preference.

B<groupstats> will process all newsgroups by default; you can limit
that to only some newsgroups by supplying a list of those groups via
B<-n> (see below). You can include hierarchy levels in the output by
adding the B<-s> switch (see below).

Furthermore you can set a threshold via B<-t> so that only newsgroups
with more postings per month will be included in the report. You can
invert that by the B<-i> switch so only newsgroups with less than
I<threshold> postings per month will be included.

You can sort the output by number of postings per month instead of the
default (alphabetical list of newsgroups) by using B<-q>; you can
reverse the sorting order (from highest to lowest or in reversed
alphabetical order) by using B<-d>.

Furthermore, you can create a list of newsgroups that had consistently
more (or less) than x postings per month during the whole report
period by using B<-l> (together with B<i> as needed).

Last but not least you can create a "best of" list of the top x
newsgroups via B<-b> (or a "worst of" list by adding B<i>).

By default, B<groupstats> will dump a very simple alphabetical list of
newsgroups, one per line, followed by the number of postings in that
month. This output format of course cannot sensibly be combined with
time periods, so you can set the output format by using B<-o> (see
below). Captions can be added by setting the B<-c> switch.

=head2 Configuration

F<groupstats.pl> will read its configuration from F<newsstats.conf>
which should be present in the same directory via Config::Auto.

See doc/INSTALL for an overview of possible configuration options.

You can override configuration options via the B<-g> switch.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 3

=item B<-V> (version)

Print out version and copyright information on B<yapfaq> and exit.

=item B<-h> (help)

Print this man page and exit.

=item B<-m> I<YYYY-MM> (month)

Set processing period to a month in YYYY-MM format. Ignored if B<-p>
is set.

=item B<-p> I<YYYY-MM:YYYY-MM> (period)

Set processing period to a time period between two month, each in
YYYY-MM format, separated by a colon. Overrides B<-m>.

=item B<-n> I<newsgroup(s)> (newsgroups)

Limit processing to a certain set of newsgroups. I<newsgroup(s)> can
be a single newsgroup name (de.alt.test), a newsgroup hierarchy
(de.alt.*) or a list of either of these, separated by colons, for
example

   de.test:de.alt.test:de.newusers.*

=item B<-t> I<threshold> (threshold)

Only include newsgroups with more than I<threshold> postings per
month. Can be inverted by the B<-i> switch so that only newsgroups
with less than I<threshold> postings will be included.

This setting will be ignored if B<-l> or B<-b> is set.

=item B<-l> I<level> (level)

Only include newsgroups with more than I<level> postings per
month, every month during the whole reporting period. Can be inverted
by the B<-i> switch so that only newsgroups with less than I<level>
postings every single month will be included. Output will be ordered
by newsgroup name, followed by month.

This setting will be ignored if B<-b> is set. Overrides B<-t> and
can't be used together with B<-q> or B<-d>.

=item B<-b> I<n> (best of)

Create a list of the I<n> newsgroups with the most postings over the
whole reporting period. Can be inverted by the B<-i> switch so that a
list of the I<n> newsgroups with the least postings over the whole
period is generated. Output will be ordered by sum of postings.

Overrides B<-t> and B<-l> and can't be used together with B<-q> or
B<-d>. Output format is set to I<pretty> (see below).

=item B<-i> (invert)

Used in conjunction with B<-t>, B<-l> or B<-b> to set a lower
threshold or level or generate a "bottom list" instead of a top list.

=item B<-s> (sum per hierarchy level)

Include "virtual" groups for every hierarchy level in output, for
example:

    de.alt.ALL 10
    de.alt.test 5
    de.alt.admin 7

See the B<gatherstats> man page for details.

=item B<-o> I<output type> (output format)

Set output format. Default is I<dump>, consisting of an alphabetical
list of newsgroups, each on a new line, followed by the number of
postings in that month. This default format can't be used with time
periods of more than one month.

I<list> format is like I<dump>, but will print the month in front of
the newsgroup name.

I<dumpgroup> format can only be use with a group list (see B<-n>) of
exactly one newsgroup and is like I<dump>, but will output months,
followed by the number of postings.

If you don't need easily parsable output, you'll mostly use I<pretty>
format, which will print a header for each new month and try to align
newsgroup names and posting counts. Usage of B<-b> will force this
format.

=item B<-c> (captions)

Add captions to output (reporting period, newsgroups list, threshold).

=item B<-q> (quantity of postings)

Sort by number of postings instead of by newsgroup names.

Cannot be used with B<-l> or B<-b>.

=item B<-d> (descending)

Change sort order to descending.

Cannot be used with B<-l> or B<-b>.

=item B<-g> I<table> (postings per group table)

Override I<DBTableGrps> from F<newsstats.conf>.

=head1 INSTALLATION

See doc/INSTALL.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Show number of postings per group for lasth month in I<dump> format:

    groupstats

Show that report for January of 2010 and de.alt.* plus de.test,
including display of hierarchy levels:

    groupstats -m 2010-01 -n de.alt.*:de.test -s

Show that report for the year of 2010 in I<pretty> format:

    groupstats -p 2010-01:2010-12 -o pretty

Only show newsgroups with less than 30 postings last month, ordered
by number of postings, descending, in I<pretty> format:

    groupstats -iqdt 30 -o pretty

Show top 10 for the first half-year of of 2010 in I<pretty> format:

    groupstats -p 2010-01:2010-06 -b 10 -o pretty

Report all groups that had less than 30 postings every singele month
in the year of 2010 (I<pretty> format is forced)

    groupstats -p 2010-01:2010-12 -il 30
