In addition to the already existing logging of pageviews and downloads, DSpace also logs search queries users enter in the DSpace search dialog and workflow events.
| Warning | ||

In DSpace 7.0x & 8.x, only usage statistics (pageview, downloads) are logged. Search statistics and workflow reports (which were available in v66.x and below) are not yet supported, but are both scheduled to be restored in a later 7.x release (currently 7.1 for workflow reports, and 7.2 for search statistics), see DSpace Release 7.0 Status. See their related tickets: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/2880 and https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/2851 |

Only workflow events, initiated and executed by a physical user are being logged. Automated workflow steps or ingest procedures are currently not being logged by the workflow events logger. |

Disabling Tracking of Statistics
By default, Statistics are captured by the REST API for all visits (page hits) and downloads that occur via both the User Interface and the REST API.
Disabling statistical tracking currently must be done by modifying the backend's Spring configuration in [dspace]/config/spring/rest/event-service-listeners.xml. In that file, you must comment out the "SolrLoggerUsageEventListener" in order to disable all tracking
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<beans>
...
<!-- Comment out this bean, as shown below, to disable all tracking of usage statistics in Solr -->
<!-- Inject the SolrLoggerUsageEventListener into the EventService -->
<!--
<bean class="org.dspace.statistics.SolrLoggerUsageEventListener">
<property name="eventService" ref="org.dspace.services.EventService"/>
</bean>
-->
</beans> |
After commenting out that bean, you will need to restart Tomcat.
NOTE: This only disables tracking statistics in Solr. The "Statistics" link will still appear in the header menu of the User Interface. However, you can limit its visibility by setting it to only be visible to administrative users. Update this configuration in your local.cfg or user-statistics.cfg:
| Code Block |
|---|
# Limit access to Admins, Community/Collection Admins
usage-statistics.authorization.admin.usage = true |
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|

At this time, there is no flag to remove the "Statistics" menu link completely. See https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/9698 |

Older versions of DSpace featured static reports generated from the log files. They still persist in DSpace today but are completely independent from the SOLR based statistics.
The following configuration parameters applicable to these reports can be found in dspace.cfg.
