264groupstats - create reports on newsgroup usage
265
266=head1 SYNOPSIS
267
268B<groupstats> [B<-Vhcs> B<--comments>] [B<-m> I<YYYY-MM>[:I<YYYY-MM>] | I<all>] [B<-n> I<newsgroup(s)>] [B<--checkgroups> I<checkgroups file>] [B<-r> I<report type>] [B<-l> I<lower boundary>] [B<-u> I<upper boundary>] [B<-b> I<boundary type>] [B<-g> I<group by>] [B<-o> I<order by>] [B<-f> I<output format>] [B<--filetemplate> I<filename template>] [B<--groupsdb> I<database table>] [--conffile I<filename>]
269
270=head1 REQUIREMENTS
271
272See L<doc/README>.
273
274=head1 DESCRIPTION
275
276This script create reports on newsgroup usage (number of postings per
277group per month) taken from result tables created by
278B<gatherstats.pl>.
279
280=head2 Features and options
281
282=head3 Time period and newsgroups
283
284The time period to act on defaults to last month; you can assign another
285time period or a single month (or drop all time constraints) via the
286B<--month> option (see below).
287
288B<groupstats> will process all newsgroups by default; you can limit
289processing to only some newsgroups by supplying a list of those groups via
290B<--newsgroups> option (see below). You can include hierarchy levels in
291the output by adding the B<--sums> switch (see below). Optionally
292newsgroups not present in a checkgroups file can be excluded from output,
293sse B<--checkgroups> below.
294
295=head3 Report type
296
297You can choose between different B<--report> types: postings per month,
298average postings per month or all postings summed up; for details, see
299below.
300
301=head3 Upper and lower boundaries
302
303Furthermore you can set an upper and/or lower boundary to exclude some
304results from output via the B<--lower> and B<--upper> options,
305respectively. By default, all newsgroups with more and/or less postings
306per month will be excluded from the result set (i.e. not shown and not
307considered for average and sum reports). You can change the meaning of
308those boundaries with the B<--boundary> option. For details, please see
309below.
310
311=head3 Sorting and formatting the output
312
313By default, all results are grouped by month; you can group results by
314newsgroup instead via the B<--groupy-by> option. Within those groups, the
315list of newsgroups (or months) is sorted alphabetically (or
316chronologically, respectively) ascending. You can change that order (and
317sort by number of postings) with the B<--order-by> option. For details and
318exceptions, please see below.
319
320The results will be formatted as a kind of table; you can change the
321output format to a simple list or just a list of newsgroups and number of
322postings with the B<--format> option. Captions will be added by means of
323the B<--caption> option; all comments (and captions) can be supressed by
324using B<--nocomments>.
325
326Last but not least you can redirect all output to a number of files, e.g.
327one for each month, by submitting the B<--filetemplate> option, see below.
328Captions and comments are automatically disabled in this case.
329
330=head2 Configuration
331
332B<groupstats> will read its configuration from F<newsstats.conf>
333which should be present in the same directory via Config::Auto.
334
335See doc/INSTALL for an overview of possible configuration options.
336
337You can override some configuration options via the B<--groupsdb> option.
338
339=head1 OPTIONS
340
341=over 3
342
343=item B<-V>, B<--version>
344
345Print out version and copyright information and exit.
346
347=item B<-h>, B<--help>
348
349Print this man page and exit.
350
351=item B<-m>, B<--month> I<YYYY-MM[:YYYY-MM]|all>
352
353Set processing period to a single month in YYYY-MM format or to a time
354period between two month in YYYY-MM:YYYY-MM format (two month, separated
355by a colon). By using the keyword I<all> instead, you can set no
356processing period to process the whole database.
357
358=item B<-n>, B<--newsgroups> I<newsgroup(s)>
359
360Limit processing to a certain set of newsgroups. I<newsgroup(s)> can
361be a single newsgroup name (de.alt.test), a newsgroup hierarchy
362(de.alt.*) or a list of either of these, separated by colons, for
363example
364
365 de.test:de.alt.test:de.newusers.*
366
367=item B<-s>, B<--sums|--nosums> (sum per hierarchy level)
368
369Include "virtual" groups for every hierarchy level in output, for
370example:
371
372 de.alt.ALL 10
373 de.alt.test 5
374 de.alt.admin 7
375
376See the B<gatherstats> man page for details.
377
378=item B<--checkgroups> I<filename>
379
380Restrict output to those newgroups present in a file in checkgroups format
381(one newgroup name per line; everything after the first whitespace on each
382line is ignored). All other newsgroups will be removed from output.
383
384Contrary to B<gatherstats>, I<filename> is not a template, but refers to
385a single file in checkgroups format.
386
387=item B<-r>, B<--report> I<default|average|sums>
388
389Choose the report type: I<default>, I<average> or I<sums>
390
391By default, B<groupstats> will report the number of postings for each
392newsgroup in each month. But it can also report the average number of
393postings per group for all months or the total sum of postings per group
394for all months.
395
396For report types I<average> and I<sums>, the B<group-by> option has no
397meaning and will be silently ignored (see below).
398
399=item B<-l>, B<--lower> I<lower boundary>
400
401Set the lower boundary. See B<--boundary> below.
402
403=item B<-l>, B<--upper> I<upper boundary>
404
405Set the upper boundary. See B<--boundary> below.
406
407=item B<-b>, B<--boundary> I<boundary type>
408
409Set the boundary type to one of I<default>, I<level>, I<average> or
410I<sums>.
411
412By default, all newsgroups with more postings per month than the upper
413boundary and/or less postings per month than the lower boundary will be
414excluded from further processing. For the default report that means each
415month only newsgroups with a number of postings between the boundaries
416will be displayed. For the other report types, newsgroups with a number of
417postings exceeding the boundaries in all (!) months will not be
418considered.
419
420For example, lets take a list of newsgroups like this:
421
422 ----- 2012-01:
423 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 6
424 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
425 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
426 ----- 2012-02:
427 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 8
428 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
429 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
430 ----- 2012-03:
431 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 24
432 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 83
433 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 36
434
435With C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --report sums>,
436you'll get the following result:
437
438 ----- All months:
439 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
440 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 124
441
442de.comp.datenbanken.misc has not been considered even though it has 38
443postings in total, because it has less than 25 postings in every single
444month. If you want to list all newsgroups with more than 25 postings
445I<in total>, you'll have to set the boundary type to I<sum>, see below.
446
447A boundary type of I<level> will show only those newsgroups - at all -
448that satisfy the boundaries in each and every single month. With the above
449list of newsgroups and
450C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary level --report sums>,
451you'll get this result:
452
453 ----- All months:
454 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
455
456de.comp.datenbanken.mysql has not been considered because it had less than
45725 postings in 2012-02 (only).
458
459You can use that to get a list of newsgroups that have more (or less) then
460x postings in every month during the whole reporting period.
461
462A boundary type of I<average> will show only those newsgroups - at all -that
463satisfy the boundaries on average. With the above list of newsgroups and
464C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary avg --report sums>,
465you'll get this result:
466
467 ----- All months:
468 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
469 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 145
470
471The average number of postings in the three groups is:
472
473 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 12.67
474 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 97.67
475 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 48.33
476
477Last but not least, a boundary type of I<sums> will show only those
478newsgroups - at all - that satisfy the boundaries with the total sum of
479all postings during the reporting period. With the above list of
480newsgroups and
481C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary sum --report sums>,
482you'll finally get this result:
483
484 ----- All months:
485 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 38
486 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
487 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 145
488
489
490=item B<-g>, B<--group-by> I<month[-desc]|newsgroups[-desc]>
491
492By default, all results are grouped by month, sorted chronologically in
493ascending order, like this:
494
495 ----- 2012-01:
496 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
497 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
498 ----- 2012-02:
499 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
500 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
501
502The results can be grouped by newsgroups instead via
503B<--group-by> I<newsgroup>:
504
505 ----- de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access:
506 2012-01 84
507 2012-02 126
508 ----- de.comp.datenbanken.mysql:
509 2012-01 88
510 2012-02 21
511
512By appending I<-desc> to the group-by option parameter, you can reverse
513the sort order - e.g. B<--group-by> I<month-desc> will give:
514
515 ----- 2012-02:
516 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126

521
522Average and sums reports (see above) will always be grouped by months;
523this option will therefore be ignored.
524
525=item B<-o>, B<--order-by> I<default[-desc]|postings[-desc]>
526
527Within each group (a single month or single newsgroup, see above), the
528report will be sorted by newsgroup names in ascending alphabetical order
529by default. You can change the sort order to descending or sort by number
530of postings instead.
531
532=item B<-f>, B<--format> I<pretty|list|dump>
533
534Select the output format, I<pretty> being the default:
535
536 ----- 2012-01:
537 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
538 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
539 ----- 2012-02:
540 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
541 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
542
543I<list> format looks like this:
544
545 2012-01 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
546 2012-01 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
547 2012-02 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
548 2012-02 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
549
550And I<dump> format looks like this:
551
552 # 2012-01:
553 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
554 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
555 # 2012-02:
556 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
557 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
558
559You can remove the comments by using B<--nocomments>, see below.
560
561=item B<-c>, B<--captions|--nocaptions>
562
563Add captions to output, like this:
564
565 ----- Report for 2012-01 to 2012-02 (number of postings for each month)
566 ----- Newsgroups: de.comp.datenbanken.*
567 ----- Threshold: 10 => x <= 20 (on average)
568 ----- Grouped by Newsgroups (ascending), sorted by number of postings descending
569
570False by default.
571
572=item B<--comments|--nocomments>
573
574Add comments (group headers) to I<dump> and I<pretty> output. True by default.
575
576Use I<--nocomments> to suppress anything except newsgroup names/months and
577numbers of postings. This is enforced when using B<--filetemplate>, see below.
578
579=item B<--filetemplate> I<filename template>
580
581Save output to file(s) instead of dumping it to STDOUT. B<groupstats> will
582create one file for each month (or each newsgroup, accordant to the
583setting of B<--group-by>, see above), with filenames composed by adding
584year and month (or newsgroup names) to the I<filename template>, for
585example with B<--filetemplate> I<stats>:
586
587 stats-2012-01
588 stats-2012-02
589 ... and so on
590
591B<--nocomments> is enforced, see above.
592
593=item B<--groupsdb> I<database table>
594
595Override I<DBTableGrps> from F<newsstats.conf>.
596
597=item B<--conffile> I<filename>

599Load configuration from I<filename> instead of F<newsstats.conf>.
