Introduction
DSpace has two methods of creating and logging statistical data, namely the original "default" method and the "Elastic" engine method.
Both can be enabled, however it is prudent to only use one method. Please check the reference links in each method before you decide which method to use!
Both methods use the SOLR DB, hence the requirements below.
There is also some debate about which method is more effective at filtering out search bot data and providing "real downloads" data.
As a double check on the DSpace statistics we have also enabled Piwik statistics logging.
Requirements
Before attempting setup please make sure the following are correct:
Using Elastic Engine
Using Default Engine
