# Grimhilde
|
||||
|
||||
## Usecase
|
||||
At dotsrc, mirror statistics are currently generated by the [mirror_stats](https://gitlab.com/dotSRC/mirror_stats) go program. While this approach works decently, it could do with improved granularity, and working with the very large json blobs it generates can be taxing.
|
||||
|
||||
Grimhilde is a proposed replacement, currently in development.
|
||||
|
||||
## Planning & Structure
|
||||
By using the `log_format` directive in our nginx configuration, the access log output can be
|
||||
customized to include only the data we need in machine-readable form rather than the default
|
||||
hunman-readable form. Different logging facilities can also be configured, including logging over
|
||||
the syslog protocol. Grimhilde emulates a syslog server by opening a local UDP socket, enabling fast
|
||||
and reliable communication between nginx and Grimhilde.
|
||||
|
||||
Each request processed by nginx is sent to Grimhilde, where its details are stored in a Postgresql
|
||||
database. As the DotSrc mirror processes millions of requests each day, the amount of data we need
|
||||
to store would quickly become untenable if stored traditionally. The proposed way around this is to
|
||||
assign each unique piece of data in every request (request path, referrer, hostname, etc) an ID, and
|
||||
only store it once, replacing any subsequent identical data with references to the initial copy.
|
||||
|
||||
While this will massively decrease the amount of data stored, the database will still grow large
|
||||
with time. The proposed solution to this is to limit the length of time the data is stored, and to
|
||||
use the API to generate static views of interest prior to purging data older than f.x. three months.
|
||||
This will allow staff members to generate advanced reports on realtime data to see and respond to
|
||||
problematic trends, while also retaining interesting historical usage data to be published publicly
|
||||
for years to come.
|
||||
|
||||
## Todo
|
||||
* [ ] Write tests
|
||||
* [ ] Implement the GraphQL API for fetching statistics
|
||||
* [ ] Find an appropriate solution for generating reports based on data from the API
