=head1 NAME

gatherstats - process statistical data from a raw source

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<gatherstats> [B<-Vhdt>] [B<-m> I<YYYY-MM> | I<YYYY-MM:YYYY-MM>] [B<-s> I<stats] [B<-c> I<filename template>]] [B<--hierarchy> I<TLH>] [B<--rawdb> I<database table>] [B<-groupsdb> I<database table>] [B<--clientsdb> I<database table>] [B<--hostsdb> I<database table>]

=head1 REQUIREMENTS

See L<doc/README>.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script will extract and process statistical information from a
database table which is fed from F<feedlog.pl> for a given time period
and write its results to (an)other database table(s). Entries marked
with I<'disregard'> in the database will be ignored; currently, you
have to set this flag yourself, using your database management tools.
You can exclude erroneous entries that way (e.g. automatic reposts
(think of cancels flood and resurrectors); spam; ...).

The time period to act on defaults to last month; you can assign
another time period or a single month via the B<--month> option (see
below).

By default B<gatherstats> will process all types of information; you
can change that using the B<--stats> option and assigning the type of
information to process. Currently that doesn't matter yet as only
processing of the number of postings per group per month is
implemented anyway.

Possible information types include:

=over 3

=item B<groups> (postings per group per month)

B<gatherstats> will examine Newsgroups: headers. Crosspostings will be
counted for each single group they appear in. Groups not in I<TLH>
will be ignored.

B<gatherstats> will also add up the number of postings for each
hierarchy level, but only count each posting once. A posting to
de.alt.test will be counted for de.alt.test, de.alt.ALL and de.ALL,
respectively. A crossposting to de.alt.test and de.alt.admin, on the
other hand, will be counted for de.alt.test and de.alt.admin each, but
only once for de.alt.ALL and de.ALL.

Data is written to I<DBTableGrps> (see L<doc/INSTALL>); you can
override that default through the B<--groupsdb> option.

=back

=head2 Configuration

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

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

You can override configuration options via the B<--hierarchy>,
B<--rawdb>, B<--groupsdb>, B<--clientsdb> and B<--hostsdb> options,
respectively.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 3

=item B<-V>, B<--version>

Print out version and copyright information and exit.

=item B<-h>, B<--help>

Print this man page and exit.

=item B<-d>, B<--debug>

Output debugging information to STDOUT while processing (number of
postings per group).

=item B<-t>, B<--test>

Do not write results to database. You should use B<--debug> in
conjunction with B<--test> ... everything else seems a bit pointless.

=item B<-m>, B<--month> I<YYYY-MM[:YYYY-MM]>

Set processing period to a single month in YYYY-MM format or to a time
period between two month in YYYY-MM:YYYY-MM format (two month, separated
by a colon). 


=item B<-s>, B<--stats> I<type>

Set processing type to one of I<all> and I<groups>. Defaults to all
(and is currently rather pointless as only I<groups> has been
implemented).

=item B<-c>, B<--checkgroups> I<filename template>

Check each group against a list of valid newsgroups read from a file,
one group on each line and ignoring everything after the first
whitespace (so you can use a file in checkgroups format or (part of)
your INN active file).

The filename is taken from I<filename template>, amended by each B<--
month> B<gatherstats> is processing, so that

    gatherstats -m 2010-01:2010-12 -c checkgroups

will check against F<checkgroups-2010-01> for January 2010, against
F<checkgroups-2010-02> for February 2010 and so on.

Newsgroups not found in the checkgroups file will be dropped (and
logged to STDERR), and newsgroups found there but having no postings
will be added with a count of 0 (and logged to STDERR).

=item B<--hierarchy> I<TLH> (newsgroup hierarchy)

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

=item B<--rawdb> I<table> (raw data table)

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

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

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

=item B<--clientsdb> I<table> (client data table)

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

=item B<--hostsdb> I<table> (host data table)

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

=back

=head1 INSTALLATION

See L<doc/INSTALL>.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Process all types of information for lasth month:

    gatherstats

Do a dry run, showing results of processing:

    gatherstats --debug --test

Process all types of information for January of 2010:

    gatherstats --month 2010-01

Process only number of postings for the year of 2010,
checking against checkgroups-*:

    gatherstats -m 2010-01:2010-12 -s groups -c checkgroups
