Exchange usage statistics with IRUS
Introduction
IRUS (Institutional Repository Usage Statistics) enables Institutional Repositories to share and expose statistics based on the COUNTER standard.
It offers opportunities for benchmarking and acts as an intermediary between repositories and other agencies.

- Australia and New-Zealand: https://irus.jisc.ac.uk/irus-anz/
- United States: https://irus.jisc.ac.uk/irus-us/
Prerequisite
The DSpace server should be able to access the tracker’s base production and test URL's.
The tracker's base production URL will depend on the area/country where your repository is located:
- United Kingdom: http://irus.jisc.ac.uk/counter/
- Australia and New-Zealand: https://irus.jisc.ac.uk/counter/anz/
- United States: https://irus.jisc.ac.uk/counter/us/
...
https://irus.jisc.ac.uk/counter/test/
Access to the tracker's base URLs can easily be verified using a wget command with the applicable URL, e.g.:
| Code Block |
|---|
wget https://irus.jisc.ac.uk/counter/test/ |
The above command should return a HTTP 200.
Configuration
The IRUS statistics tracker can be configured in the irus-statistics.cfg file which can be found [dspace-src]/dspace/config/modules.
