DStats 1.0

  Working on this...

DStats 1.0

Change to Program Settings
  Administrative Page
    Save Time option
      If you choose this option, the graphing and top-ten information will run faster than if
      you don't check it.  Here are the tradeoffs:
        -Checked=Faster, HOGS entire machine - nothing else processes, Uses lots of HD space
        -UNChecked=Slower, Uses little resources - you can do other things and no HD space used

Weekly Filtered Graph Dialog (Selective Objects is here!!!)
  When you press the button to enter the criteria, you have a new dialog box that asks for the
  begin date, whether or not you want to do a general pattern filter, or you want to do a specific
  object name filter.  If you choose general, enter a pattern, and the search will be done to find
  your text within the object names.  If you choose specific, press the button that allows you
  to indicate which objects you want used.

View Data Dialog
  Major Change!!!  It comes up almost immediately now.  It isn't pretty yet, but it is getting 
  there.  It now shows a table of accesses at the top that you can scroll through and right
  below, it shows the object's, site's, and authusers' information for that particular access.
  Right now, there is not particular sorting options, but that will be forthcoming.  At the very
  bottom, there are two tables that are independent of the top form.  The first is the table
  of objects and the second is the table of sites.

Appearance
  I have placed more hourglasses when things will take awhile.  Some users thought nothing was
  going on and didn't understand why it was not working.  Now there is a clear indication that
  DStats is busy.  If you catch any that I haven't, let me know.

Table Changes
  No table changes in this one, so if you unzip the archive to another directory, all you have to copy
  is the stuff in the root level and not the /data or /docs directory.  The .ini has changed so you 
  will lose your settings when you copy over it.  If you want, save your old .ini and move your info
  into the new one.  I believe all of the groups and items in the new .ini are named the same as the
  old one, but there are new items.

Version Information
  As you know, I have been using 1.0.  I do not plan on raising the version until I have all of the
  options in there that I feel are basic to the concept.  I will continue to put the date that I
  put the info out for downloading into the caption of the form.

The Eliminator
  Still need to give option to put the Eliminator patterns into affect during the adding of the log
  information.  This would save some time later.

DNS
  Yet to be done.

• New Program Settings Page
  • You can now have dstats mail you when it is done loading the database remotely and when it is done generating the reports remotely.
• Database Stuff
  • Under the Database menu, you can now empty your tables.
  • The Eliminator
    • Added New pre-filtering features. The feature is under the database menu. It is called 'The Eliminator'. As of right now, the eliminator lets you specify patterns for objects, sites and users. When you click the 'apply all' button, it will go out and clean up your accesses.db file and remove any accesses that match your patterns. It does not remove the items for the objects, sites and users tables, though. This is because those tables have unique ID's for each object and to get rid of them would mean they would just come back in your next log. Eventually you would run out of ID's!! Also, it will use the filters when it is adding the logfile to your database as well, but this will be an option. You will be able to decide if you want filtering on while loading or if you want to always do it manually.
• Changes to the graph Previews
  • You can now print the graphs from the preview by click on the printer icon
  • Changing the dates and filters on the weekly graph filtered is done by dialog instead of by 3 buttons
• Changes to Reports Menu
  • Overall top ten Sites
  • Overall top ten Objects
  • Overall top ten Routes traveled on your server!!
    • This currently assumes at least 4 objects in a route with a maximum of 5mins between hits for a site.
• Changes to Server Reports
  • The server reports now are in HTML 3.0 format. The top ten information on those pages is in table format now.
