statistics

If your server has high load you may consider following approach:
1. Use logs of server (i.e. Apache) + awstats updated by cron.
2. run awstats to parse log on another server or nightly when no load.
3. Apache work slower with logging. I prefer to log only php,html - content, no jpg,css,js etc.
4. Why Apache? nginx works much faster. nginx + php-fpm + e-accelerator 2-3 times faster and don't use so much memory like apache.

eaccelerator.shm_size="16" - you may consider to add some memory here
eaccelerator.compress="1" - there is no need if you use gzip/deflate in apache.

Hello all,
Drupal already has its own statistic system that grabs the number of installation that uses a determined module (here you can see an example: http://drupal.org/project/usage/blocks404).
There's more we can do to make statistics useful. It could be useful to understand the number of users are using a determined feature inside a module, and how are they using this.

Examples:

The module creates statistics with aggregated data. The data will be stored in a new table, which will be updated with a cron run. This statistic module provides statistical results of nodes, comments and users. Those results will be stored even if the access-log or the watchdog table have been deleted. For the presentation the data views and charts module are used. The Drupal core statistics module is used for the raw data (actually it is required for statspro).

I thought you guys might be interested in these search numbers from DrupalModules.com. It turns out they're very similar to what's being reported by Drupal.org. One thing to note, my data has been filtered for IP-uniqueness to prevent result spamming (intentional, or not), the Drupal.org data is just coming right out of the watchdog log unfiltered.

Not everyone I know is on the Drupal development mailing list so I thought I'd pass along this interesting bit of research that webchick compiled. It's a number of Drupal statistics including number of active installations, most popular modules, number of Drupal downloads, etc.

Read it here.

I've tabulated some data based upon the commit messages for Drupal6. Note, this is not a good judge of contributors. A better judge would be "people who have "commented on an issue and changed the status" or "uploaded an attachment" or even "posted a comment" but this is one way of gathering the data.

I wanted to capture my method and share the output data. The data is available here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pVuTBhrgLH93h7VQNyyynXw

There are lots of processed statistics in this group, but is the raw data available anywhere? Acquia is looking to grow Drupal's use by a magnitude of 10, which implies they must have some good data to base their projects off. Is that available to others? Many thanks!

Not sure if others have noted the new open source census effort, which aims to measure open source software use both locally (via use of a new OSS Discovery tool) and globally through the aggregation of local discovery data.
