I am trying to figure out why the counter report metric totals for all journals went up about ~8x the amount after we upgraded to 3.1.1 from 2.4.* (by journal varied around 2x-10x).
I’ve read: https://pkp.sfu.ca/wiki/index.php?title=PKP_Statistics_Framework#Statistics_migration
And: How to generate legacyCounterPlugin stats after upgrade to 2.4.3 - #3 by aguen
I then started looking at the database: count(*), metric from metrics by month and noticed that metric 1 had a count that was higher but metrics 2, 3 and 4. I could not find a mapping table that defines what each of those metrics means and was curious if anyone knew what each metric means which would hopefully answer my question as to what changed.
mysql> select count(), metric from metrics where month = ‘201808’ group by metric;
±---------±-------+
| count() | metric |
±---------±-------+
| 81286 | 1 |
| 9693 | 2 |
| 1543 | 3 |
| 625 | 4 |
| 242 | 5 |
vs.
mysql> select count(), metric from metrics where month = ‘201810’ group by metric;
±---------±-------+
| count() | metric |
±---------±-------+
| 117887 | 1 |
| 60679 | 2 |
| 26901 | 3 |
| 11625 | 4 |
| 5392 | 5 |
