Administration > Metrics > Subversion activity
The Subversion activity metrics tool can get you the site activity
statitics based on SVN client transactions in the entire domain or a
custom list of projects on any given day or over a period of time. It
can also provide
the file downloads report based on the downloads from ViewVC in the
entire domain or a custom list of projects. For
example the system can generate a report
on how many projects are active in the domain within a specific time
frame.
It helps the domain owners and community managers in the following ways:
- Determine project participation, activity and visibility.
- Analyze the performance, size and health of the site.
- Get size/visibility metrics around file downloads.
Domain activity report
This report provides the count of active projects in the domain based on the selected criteria for SVN client transactions.
Assume that on day 1 there was 1 active project, 1 on day 2 and 4 on day 3. So
if you generate a Subversion activity report on active projects in the domain on
these 3 days, the output will be :

We get the following information from this chart.
- There were 1, 1 and 4 active projects in the domain on day 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
Drilling
down the above report gives the names of those active projects and the
count of SVN activities happened against each of those projects. The
itemized report of the above chart's drill down will look like below:
Active users report at the domain level
This report provides the count of active users in the entire
domain or in the selected set of projects based on the specified
criteria for SVN client transaction.
The drill down from this report shows the itemized list of the names of
those active users and the count of activities performed by each of
them.
File downloads report at the domain level
This report provides the count/size of file downloads done in the
entire domain or in the selected set of projects. As in other domain
level reports, this also provides the drill down feature which gives
the detailed itemized list of the file names, URL to ViewVC page and
count/size of each file.
Domain owners can also view the pre-defined itemized list of top N
active projects, active users and active file downloads in the last
week.
