The logging happens at the server side, and doesn't require a javascript like Google Analytics does, to provide usage data. Definition of which fields are to be stored happens in the file dspace/solr/statistics/conf/schema.xml.

Although they are stored in the same index, the stored fields for views, search queries and workflow events are different. A new field, statistics_type determines which kind of a usage event you are dealing with. The three possible values for this field are view, search and workflow.

<field name="statistics_type" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" />
