Warning

Does The module's built-in displays do not respect XACML or namespace restrictions. The usage stats reports and blocks may provide links to objects outside of allowed namespaces or prohibited by XACML policiesWe recommend using Drupal Views or other community modules to expose usage stats.


Note

This is a server-side tracking solution, so a caching layer can prevent usage from being accurately recorded. If this is impacting you, a solution using Javascript may work better.

...

This module populates tables in the Drupal database when a request is made for an object (by requesting /islandora/object/$PID) or its datastreams (by requesting /islandora/object/$PID/datastream/$DSID/download). These stats can be exposed by

  • Creating custom Drupal views (requires Views UI, bundled with Views, to be enabled)
  • Enabling additional community modules such as Islandora Usage Stats Callbacks
  • Using the built-in blocks, views, and reports (not recommended).

...

Users who have the premission "View Islandora Usage Reports" will see a View of objects ranked by page 'hits' , with the ability to filter by collection or date and export to CSV, at Reports > Islandora Usage Stats (admin/reports/islandora_usage_stats_report). This is an example of the kind of View that can be built with Views UI.

Configuration

Configuration options are available at Administration > Islandora > Islandora Utility Modules > Islandora Usage Stats Settings (/admin/islandora/tools/islandora_usage_stats). To access this page, users must have the permission "Manage usage tracking".
