We use "Everyone" for the button labels already.
Soon we'll support "Everyone" meaning either the installation or the realm,
depending on the URL route used to access the stats.
In this commit:
Two new URLs are added, to make all realms accessible for server
admins. One is for the stats page itself and another for getting
chart data i.e. chart data API requests.
For the above two new URLs corresponding two view functions are
added.
Sort of a hacky hammer, but
* The original design of the analytics system mistakenly attempted to play
nicely with non-UTC datetimes.
* Timezone errors are really hard to find and debug, and don't jump out that
easily when reading code.
I don't know of any outstanding errors, but putting a few "assert this
timezone is in UTC" around will hopefully reduce the chance that there are
any current or future timezone errors.
Note that none of these functions are called outside of the analytics code
(and tests). This commit also doesn't change any current behavior, assuming
a database where all datetimes have been being stored in UTC.
Previously we showed the total number of users with an active account. This
changes it to show only the number of users that have logged in in the past
two weeks.
Groundwork for allowing stats like "Monthly Active Users".
CountStat.interval is no longer as clean a value as before, so removed it
from views.get_chart_data. It wasn't being used by the frontend anyway.
Removing interval from logger calls in counts.py is not a big loss since we
now include the frequency (which is typically also the interval) in
CountStat.property.
Originally, all the client names in populate_analytics_db started with
underscores to make it easy to selectively delete and regenerate them when
re-running populate_analytics_db.
We eventually want to merge populate_analytics_db into populate_db though,
in which case it makes more sense for them to share client names, and not
worry about the case where we run (or re-run) populate_analytics_db
independently of populate_db.
It will simplify the logic needed to process the "Sent by Me" view in
Messages Sent Over Time in stats.js.
Also, we gzip the data sent from our server, so there is little additional
network usage by doing this.
