This repo contains scripts, data and other files, that are helpful for acquiring and analysing the usage statistics for OpenMS and SeqAn.

A cron job which triggers the analysis of log files is set up on Jenkins.

❗Important❗: The top level seqan_versions.txt and openms_versions.txt must not be moved to a different location because it is needed to ensure a correct server response to a user call. The Tübingen REST server pulls both file once per night, so if a version changes, they can be directly updated in this repository.

1. Get log files: The original server calls are stored in Tuebingen. Ask someone in Tuebingen to send you a zipped file or get access to the server yourself.

2. Prepare log files: The log files are originally not in a nice format to process. You need to use the script process_seqan_log_files.sh or process_openms_log_files.sh first.

   $ /path/to/script/process_seqan_log_files.sh seqan-all.log
   

   Now the directory should have a file all.log and a file geolocations.csv Those are the files you need for generating a plots and stuff

3. Generate the user statistics report pdf: To generate the pdf file execute the R script create_report.R and supply the according files. Note: you will also get a new directory in your current path with all the single figures.

   $ /path/to/script/create_report.R all.log geolocations.csv report.pdf
   

   Note: The database file for ip geo locations was obtained from : https://lite.ip2location.com. The pyhton code to access the database binary was obtained from: https://github.com/chrislim2888/IP2Location-Python
