Django Statsy

Statsy is an application for collecting and displaying statistics in your Django project.

Basic Usage

View decorator:

@statsy.watch
def index(request):
    ...

@statsy.watch(group='index', event='page_view')
def index(request):
    ...

Inside the view:

def like(request):
  statsy.send(
    group='post', event='like', user=request.user,
    value=17, content_object=post
  )
  ...

CBV Mixin:

class AboutView(WatchMixin, TemplateView):
    template_name = 'example/about.html'

    watch_group = 'info'
    watch_event = 'page_view'
    ...

From the template:

{% load statsy %}

{% statsy %}

...

var statsy = new Statsy()

statsy.send({
  'group': 'post',
  'event': 'subscription'
});

Installation

pip install django-statsy

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
  ...

  'statsy',
)

If you want to display collected statistics you will also have to add Statsy's URLs to your project's URLs.

# urls.py
  ...

  url(r'^stats/', include('statsy.urls')),
  ...

Dashboard

Default out of the box graphs.

Configuration

There are some settings you may want to change (default values are specified).

# settings.py

# By default Statsy caches lookups for a group and event
STATSY_CACHE_TIMEOUT = 60 * 15  # in seconds

# Statsy can work in async mode with Celery up and running
STATSY_ASYNC = False

# Full path to Celery application instance (e.g. 'example.celery_app.app')
CELERY_APP = None

# Permission to view stats pages
STATSY_VIEW_PERMISSION = 'statsy.stats_view'

'event'

# some additional info about the stats object
'label'

# user associated with the action
# collected by default in @watch

Extending

If you want to add your custom stats page to Statsy you'll have to register it manually in "stats.py".

# stats.py
import statsy

def some_awesome_stats(request):
    return render_to_response('app/awesome_stats.html')

statsy.site.register(some_awesome_stats)

You can also specify a category, a name or a permission

statsy.site.register(
    some_awesome_stats,
    category='Awesome stats',
    name='Most awesome',
    permission='user.view_awesome_stats'
)
