Get Actual Author stats from a real life instance #2
Description
Activity
Thinking about what stat is useful.
of edits per second per user.
I would need total connected time and total "ACCEPT_COMMIT"
This would give me an average commits per user per second
At the moment we have "lurkers" and "authors", this might be realistic, but why not just have "users". If we have a set value of "user" makes X commits per Y seconds (let's say 5) then an instance could check their
averageCommitPerUserPerSecondvalue in "/stats" and drop that into the load testing site.A heavy instance might actually have a lot of lurkers and just a few authors, so the
averageCommitPerUserSecondwould actually be low. This instance would need something else...author commits per second
Time connected to pad(in seconds) / number of commits
Example. 60seconds / 60commits = 1I still need to think some more about this.
lurkers
An option might be to have a
lurkervalue visible instatswhere a user that connects never actually sends any contributions. I guess you could just collect totalConnectedUsers and have a totalLurkers type value that is on a counter and is incremented when a user joins and then if that user sends a changeset (becomes an author) then the counter is decremented.todo

Have been given permission to gather stats of this. Needs a commit to Etherpad core probably or maybe I can write this as a plugin?
