271groupstats - create reports on newsgroup usage
272
273=head1 SYNOPSIS
274
275B<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>]
276
277=head1 REQUIREMENTS
278
279See L<doc/README>.
280
281=head1 DESCRIPTION
282
283This script create reports on newsgroup usage (number of postings per
284group per month) taken from result tables created by
285B<gatherstats.pl>.
286
287=head2 Features and options
288
289=head3 Time period and newsgroups
290
291The time period to act on defaults to last month; you can assign another
292time period or a single month (or drop all time constraints) via the
293B<--month> option (see below).
294
295B<groupstats> will process all newsgroups by default; you can limit
296processing to only some newsgroups by supplying a list of those groups via
297B<--newsgroups> option (see below). You can include hierarchy levels in
298the output by adding the B<--sums> switch (see below). Optionally
299newsgroups not present in a checkgroups file can be excluded from output,
300sse B<--checkgroups> below.
301
302=head3 Report type
303
304You can choose between different B<--report> types: postings per month,
305average postings per month or all postings summed up; for details, see
306below.
307
308=head3 Upper and lower boundaries
309
310Furthermore you can set an upper and/or lower boundary to exclude some
311results from output via the B<--lower> and B<--upper> options,
312respectively. By default, all newsgroups with more and/or less postings
313per month will be excluded from the result set (i.e. not shown and not
314considered for average and sum reports). You can change the meaning of
315those boundaries with the B<--boundary> option. For details, please see
316below.
317
318=head3 Sorting and formatting the output
319
320By default, all results are grouped by month; you can group results by
321newsgroup instead via the B<--groupy-by> option. Within those groups, the
322list of newsgroups (or months) is sorted alphabetically (or
323chronologically, respectively) ascending. You can change that order (and
324sort by number of postings) with the B<--order-by> option. For details and
325exceptions, please see below.
326
327The results will be formatted as a kind of table; you can change the
328output format to a simple list or just a list of newsgroups and number of
329postings with the B<--format> option. Captions will be added by means of
330the B<--caption> option; all comments (and captions) can be supressed by
331using B<--nocomments>.
332
333Last but not least you can redirect all output to a number of files, e.g.
334one for each month, by submitting the B<--filetemplate> option, see below.
335Captions and comments are automatically disabled in this case.
336
337=head2 Configuration
338
339B<groupstats> will read its configuration from F<newsstats.conf>
340which should be present in the same directory via Config::Auto.
341
342See doc/INSTALL for an overview of possible configuration options.
343
344You can override some configuration options via the B<--groupsdb> option.
345
346=head1 OPTIONS
347
348=over 3
349
350=item B<-V>, B<--version>
351
352Print out version and copyright information and exit.
353
354=item B<-h>, B<--help>
355
356Print this man page and exit.
357
358=item B<-m>, B<--month> I<YYYY-MM[:YYYY-MM]|all>
359
360Set processing period to a single month in YYYY-MM format or to a time
361period between two month in YYYY-MM:YYYY-MM format (two month, separated
362by a colon). By using the keyword I<all> instead, you can set no
363processing period to process the whole database.
364
365=item B<-n>, B<--newsgroups> I<newsgroup(s)>
366
367Limit processing to a certain set of newsgroups. I<newsgroup(s)> can
368be a single newsgroup name (de.alt.test), a newsgroup hierarchy
369(de.alt.*) or a list of either of these, separated by colons, for
370example
371
372 de.test:de.alt.test:de.newusers.*
373
374=item B<-s>, B<--sums|--nosums> (sum per hierarchy level)
375
376Include "virtual" groups for every hierarchy level in output, for
377example:
378
379 de.alt.ALL 10
380 de.alt.test 5
381 de.alt.admin 7
382
383See the B<gatherstats> man page for details.
384
385This option does not work together with the B<--checkgroups> option as
386all "virtual" groups will not be present in the checkgroups file.
387
388=item B<--checkgroups> I<filename>
389
390Restrict output to those newgroups present in a file in checkgroups format
391(one newgroup name per line; everything after the first whitespace on each
392line is ignored). All other newsgroups will be removed from output.
393
394Contrary to B<gatherstats>, I<filename> is not a template, but refers to
395a single file in checkgroups format.
396
397The B<--sums> option will not work together with this option as "virtual"
398groups will not be present in the checkgroups file.
399
400=item B<-r>, B<--report> I<default|average|sums>
401
402Choose the report type: I<default>, I<average> or I<sums>
403
404By default, B<groupstats> will report the number of postings for each
405newsgroup in each month. But it can also report the average number of
406postings per group for all months or the total sum of postings per group
407for all months.
408
409For report types I<average> and I<sums>, the B<group-by> option has no
410meaning and will be silently ignored (see below).
411
412=item B<-l>, B<--lower> I<lower boundary>
413
414Set the lower boundary. See B<--boundary> below.
415
416=item B<-l>, B<--upper> I<upper boundary>
417
418Set the upper boundary. See B<--boundary> below.
419
420=item B<-b>, B<--boundary> I<boundary type>
421
422Set the boundary type to one of I<default>, I<level>, I<average> or
423I<sums>.
424
425By default, all newsgroups with more postings per month than the upper
426boundary and/or less postings per month than the lower boundary will be
427excluded from further processing. For the default report that means each
428month only newsgroups with a number of postings between the boundaries
429will be displayed. For the other report types, newsgroups with a number of
430postings exceeding the boundaries in all (!) months will not be
431considered.
432
433For example, lets take a list of newsgroups like this:
434
435 ----- 2012-01:
436 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 6
437 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
438 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
439 ----- 2012-02:
440 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 8
441 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
442 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
443 ----- 2012-03:
444 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 24
445 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 83
446 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 36
447
448With C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --report sums>,
449you'll get the following result:
450
451 ----- All months:
452 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
453 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 124
454
455de.comp.datenbanken.misc has not been considered even though it has 38
456postings in total, because it has less than 25 postings in every single
457month. If you want to list all newsgroups with more than 25 postings
458I<in total>, you'll have to set the boundary type to I<sum>, see below.
459
460A boundary type of I<level> will show only those newsgroups - at all -
461that satisfy the boundaries in each and every single month. With the above
462list of newsgroups and
463C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary level --report sums>,
464you'll get this result:
465
466 ----- All months:
467 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
468
469de.comp.datenbanken.mysql has not been considered because it had less than
47025 postings in 2012-02 (only).
471
472You can use that to get a list of newsgroups that have more (or less) then
473x postings in every month during the whole reporting period.
474
475A boundary type of I<average> will show only those newsgroups - at all -that
476satisfy the boundaries on average. With the above list of newsgroups and
477C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary avg --report sums>,
478you'll get this result:
479
480 ----- All months:
481 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
482 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 145
483
484The average number of postings in the three groups is:
485
486 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 12.67
487 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 97.67
488 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 48.33
489
490Last but not least, a boundary type of I<sums> will show only those
491newsgroups - at all - that satisfy the boundaries with the total sum of
492all postings during the reporting period. With the above list of
493newsgroups and
494C<groupstats --month 2012-01:2012-03 --lower 25 --boundary sum --report sums>,
495you'll finally get this result:
496
497 ----- All months:
498 de.comp.datenbanken.misc 38
499 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 293
500 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 145
501
502
503=item B<-g>, B<--group-by> I<month[-desc]|newsgroups[-desc]>
504
505By default, all results are grouped by month, sorted chronologically in
506ascending order, like this:
507
508 ----- 2012-01:
509 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
510 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
511 ----- 2012-02:
512 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
513 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
514
515The results can be grouped by newsgroups instead via
516B<--group-by> I<newsgroup>:
517
518 ----- de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access:
519 2012-01 84
520 2012-02 126

524
525By appending I<-desc> to the group-by option parameter, you can reverse
526the sort order - e.g. B<--group-by> I<month-desc> will give:
527
528 ----- 2012-02:
529 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
530 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
531 ----- 2012-01:
532 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
533 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
534
535Average and sums reports (see above) will always be grouped by months;
536this option will therefore be ignored.
537
538=item B<-o>, B<--order-by> I<default[-desc]|postings[-desc]>
539
540Within each group (a single month or single newsgroup, see above), the
541report will be sorted by newsgroup names in ascending alphabetical order
542by default. You can change the sort order to descending or sort by number
543of postings instead.
544
545=item B<-f>, B<--format> I<pretty|list|dump>
546
547Select the output format, I<pretty> being the default:
548
549 ----- 2012-01:
550 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
551 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
552 ----- 2012-02:
553 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
554 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
555
556I<list> format looks like this:
557
558 2012-01 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
559 2012-01 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
560 2012-02 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
561 2012-02 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
562
563And I<dump> format looks like this:
564
565 # 2012-01:
566 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 84
567 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 88
568 # 2012-02:
569 de.comp.datenbanken.ms-access 126
570 de.comp.datenbanken.mysql 21
571
572You can remove the comments by using B<--nocomments>, see below.
573
574=item B<-c>, B<--captions|--nocaptions>
575
576Add captions to output, like this:
577
578 ----- Report for 2012-01 to 2012-02 (number of postings for each month)
579 ----- Newsgroups: de.comp.datenbanken.*
580 ----- Threshold: 10 => x <= 20 (on average)
581 ----- Grouped by Newsgroups (ascending), sorted by number of postings descending
582
583False by default.
584
585=item B<--comments|--nocomments>
586
587Add comments (group headers) to I<dump> and I<pretty> output. True by default.
588
589Use I<--nocomments> to suppress anything except newsgroup names/months and
590numbers of postings. This is enforced when using B<--filetemplate>, see below.
591
592=item B<--filetemplate> I<filename template>
593
594Save output to file(s) instead of dumping it to STDOUT. B<groupstats> will
595create one file for each month (or each newsgroup, accordant to the
596setting of B<--group-by>, see above), with filenames composed by adding
597year and month (or newsgroup names) to the I<filename template>, for
598example with B<--filetemplate> I<stats>:
599
600 stats-2012-01
601 stats-2012-02
602 ... and so on
603
604B<--nocomments> is enforced, see above.
605
606=item B<--groupsdb> I<database table>
607
608Override I<DBTableGrps> from F<newsstats.conf>.
609
