Cannot load data into piwik

Greetings,

I am a newbie to Piwik. I seem to be having an issue with loading data from access files into the application.

Let me start by saying that this all used to work, then the last days it seems not to be visible importing the data and running the archive.
Below is my import method that I have been using. I have this set as a cronjob that runs everyday at 4 in the morning. after all the previous days files have been placed into the local $LOGDIR location.
#!/bin/bash

YEAR=$(date --date=‘yesterday’ ‘+%Y’)
MONTH=$(date --date=‘yesterday’ ‘+%m’)
DAY=$(date --date=‘yesterday’ ‘+%d’)
LOGDIR=/tmp/parselogs.$DAY.$MONTH
LOG=$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY.piwik.stats.log

echo “Parsing started” >> $LOG
date >> $LOG

for HOUR in 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23; do
sudo /var/www/piwik/misc/log-analytics/import_logs.py
–enable-http-errors --enable-http-errors --enable-http-redirects
–exclude-path-from=/home/piwik/excludepaths.txt --url=https://stats.globalcollect.com/piwik/ --idsite=1
$LOGDIR/access_na.gcsip.com*${YEAR}${MONTH}${DAY}${HOUR}*
sleep 10
done
echo “Parsing Completed” >> $LOG
date >> $LOG

Looking through the log files I cannot see any issues with mysql, php, or system logs. After the archive is completed I do not see the that the data uploaded is visible within the stats pages?

I am completely lost as to why this is not visible.

Can anyone please point me into the correct direction.

For recent days do you see data in the Visitors>Visitor log?

if not then problem is with import.

If yes then the data is correctly imported and the archiving may have some problems. Do you see any error in the server error logs?

Matt

thanks for the reply, I have done a little more investigation. This is what I have seen.

Something that I did not and still do not understand is why so many requests are ignored.

I tried to run the following to only load a single file into the database and saw the following.

I have looked through the server logs but see no issues there. Looking at the results above I think that there is an issue with the import.

I will attach the log file to the ticket so that you can see if there is any issues with it. The file was generated from a sunone web server so that might be what is causing the issue.

Thanks for the advice.
Lawrence

Matt

I have now attached a single log file from the sunone server. I would appreciate some feedback how I can resolve this issue for the future.

Thanks for your help.

Lawrence

What is your problem? see my questions above…

Matt

sorry I missed the boat here a little. You said that you asked some questions. I saw the following and thought that I had answer them.

For recent days do you see data in the Visitors>Visitor log? if not then problem is with import.
Yes I do see data in the visitors logs.

If yes then the data is correctly imported and the archiving may have some problems. Do you see any error in the server error logs?
No I do not see any errors in the server error logs at all.

I did ask a question about the archive results.

Why are there so many requests ignored. The file I saw the below results for is attached.
521 requests imported successfully
0 requests were downloads
502 requests ignored:

Lawrence

You can not ignore these by adding --enable-http-errors --enable-http-redirects --enable-static --enable-bots

Matt

Thanks for the reply, but what do you mean by “You can not ignore these by adding --enable-http-errors --enable-http-redirects --enable-static --enable-bots”

Are you saying that these should be removed for better stats, should they be in the import or should they not be. I am completely new to this and am trying to learn, so please be patient and I am sure taht I will get my head around it some time soon … I hope.

Thanks
Lawrence

@gcpiwik

I believe that the ignored lines are lines that contain a different URL, than that of --idsite=1. Are you running this on a server that has multiple websites hosted on it?

I ask because of this:

0 distinct hostnames did not match any existing site:

Also, you should take advantage of the 4 core processor you have, by adding:

--recorders=4

This will enable all 4 cores to process your logs.

Thanks for the feedback, I am only running one site on the server, this is only for the time being. I will expand more later.

The info about about the 4 cores, is good but where would I do this, is it a switch used with the import_log scripts.

Thanks

Yes it is an option in the command line for the log parser. It would look like this( 3rd line, after redirects ):

sudo /var/www/piwik/misc/log-analytics/import_logs.py \ 
--enable-http-errors --enable-http-redirects --recorders=4 \ 
--exclude-path-from=/home/piwik/excludepaths.txt --url=https://stats.globalcollect.com/piwik/ --idsite=1 \ 
$LOGDIR/access_na.gcsip.com*${YEAR}${MONTH}${DAY}${HOUR}* 
sleep 10 
done 
echo "Parsing Completed" >> $LOG 
date >> $LOG
...

By the way, you do know that you posted your bash with two –enable-http-errors in it, right? Was this a mistake here, or is it that way it is, in your actual script?

Anyway, you can find several other options by running just the import_logs.py Python script, and outputting the results to file/screen.

Sven2157

*** EDIT ***
I created a basic HTML page for the options of the import_logs.py. It is a single HTML page, save it and view straight from your desktop, if you like.
IMPORT_LOGS.PY OPTIONS

Hope that helps! :wink:

I saw the same thing in my log, and wondered about that too. However, the answer was right in front of me. So I see what he meant, now.

You posted your log result, several posts up:


Logs import summary 
------------------- 

521 requests imported successfully 
0 requests were downloads 
502 requests ignored: 
0 invalid log lines 
0 requests done by bots, search engines, ... 
0 HTTP errors 
0 HTTP redirects 
502 requests to static resources (css, js, ...) 
0 requests did not match any known site 
0 requests did not match any requested hostname

The script ignored 502 of the requests, because they were requests to CSS, JS, etc, etc… Since you are parsing the Apache Access Logs, EVERYTHING is recorded, and the import_logs.py script, is set to ignore non-relevant requests, or server requests from the server, such as these.

He said that those options, would not hide those requests. Does that help?
