=head1 NAME

gatherstats - process statistical data from a raw source

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<gatherstats> [B<-Vhdo>] [B<-m> I<YYYY-MM>] [B<-p> I<YYYY-MM:YYYY-MM>] [B<-t> I<type>] [B<-n> I<TLH>] [B<-r> I<database table>] [B<-g> I<database table>] [B<-c> I<database table>] [B<-s> I<database table>]

=head1 REQUIREMENTS

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

=over 2

=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).

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.

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

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 doc/INSTALL).

=back

=head2 Configuration

F<gatherstats.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<-n>, B<-r>, B<-g>,
B<-c> and B<-s> switches, respectively.

=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<-d> (debug)

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

=item B<-o> (output only)

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

=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<-t> I<type> (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<-n> I<TLH> (newsgroup hierarchy)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=item B<-s> I<table> (server/host data table)

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

=back

=head1 INSTALLATION

See doc/INSTALL.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Process all types of information for lasth month:

    gatherstats

Do a dry run, showing results of processing:

    gatherstats -do

Process all types of information for January of 2010:

    gatherstats -m 2010-01

Process only number of postings for the year of 2010:

    gatherstats -p 2010-01:2010-12 -t groups
