Script to get usage counts from logs for Riverwalk Jazz.

As of Jan 2016, the SoundExchange reporting requirements for SUL related to our statutory license as a noncommercial webcaster of the Riverwalk Jazz collection online requires us to prepare monthly reports on the number of “performances” of each "song" ie, each time a particular "song" is streamed.

This script will gather that usage data from the hourly logs that are created and stored on media@libstream.stanford.edu/var/log/ezstream/.

Inputs to the script would reflect the reporting time period.

Usage

1. log in to libstream box as media user
2. cd rwj_reporting/current (end up in home/media/rwj_reporting/current)
3. rake reports[160301,160331]

• the dates given are yymmdd format
• the dates are inclusive
• the square brackets and comma are required

4. reports are written to the home/media directory as, e.g. 160301-160331_channel_1_usage_counts.csv and 160301-160331_channel_2_usage_counts.csv.

• You can change the directory where the reports are written by changing home/media/rwj_reporting/shared/config/settings.yml output_dir

Log files are expected to be in /var/log/ezstream. This directory is also configurable in home/media/rwj_reporting/shared/config/settings.yml

The template of the master tracking spreadsheet is held in this codebase under the /data directory. This file is configurable in home/media/rwj_reporting/shared/config/settings.yml
