pisg 0.73 documentationHow to install and configure pisgWhat is pisg?
pisg is an IRC statistics generator. It takes IRC logfiles and turns
them into nice looking stats.
In general, you would do something like this to get it running:
Enable logging in an IRC bot, or in your IRC client. The log will be
outputted into a file.
You set up pisg, you define the channel name, and the path to the
logfile you created.
You run pisg, pisg runs the log through and create statistics, it
then creates an HTML page which you can upload to a webserver.
What are the requirements to run pisg?
An IRC client or bot where pisg supports the output logfile.
Any operating system which Perl runs on, this includes popular OSes
such as Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and Mac. You will have a hard time
finding an OS where Perl isn't supported. For Windows this means
that you need to download ActivePerl.
Optional - a system to host the statistics page
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Optional - a system to log the channel, 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.
Setting up pisg for the first time
Most configuration happens through the pisg.cfg
file, the file format is made to be easy to read, and easy to extend for
further use. It uses an XML-like format, with elements and attributes.
Setting up a channel
An element called is made for defining
channels, a quick example of a channel is here:
Logfile = "channel.log"
Format = "mIRC"
Maintainer = "John"
OutputFile = "mychan.html"
]]>
The above will define a called #channel, the
logfile pisg will look for is called channel.log and
the of the logfile will be mIRC. The
(which will be stated on the output page) is
John.
That is basically it! Now, there are a lot more options that you can use
for your channels, for this please refer to the reference documentation.
Also be-aware of the fact that pisg uses various images to show the
time-related bars. These images are placed in the
gfx/ folder and should be placed into the same
directory as your outputted HTML file.
Specifying user options
User options are set with a simple XML-like syntax in the form:
]]>
Remember, the nick is always required.
For example to add aliases to a nick, then you could do this:
]]>
The asterisk (*) means that it will match all nicks starting with 'Joe^'. So
it will add all Joe^'s to 'Joe' in the stats.
Another thing you can do is to add a picture to a user:
]]>
If you have a larger picture of the user as well, you can make the picture
on the stats page link to it:
]]>
You can include * or ? to enable filename globbing to randomly choose one
from several pictures: (see documentation for the
option)
]]>
You can also set a user's sex.
The sex setting can be "f"emale, "m"ale, or "b"ot:
]]>
Also you can add links to URLs and e-mails:
]]>
or
]]>
The last thing you can do is to ignore nicks (for example bots):
]]>
You don't have to do all this in many lines, you could just as easily do:
]]>
(Here the aliases are a space separated list of nicks, that also works! But *
as a wildcard is smarter, although it is slower).
Setting global options
Many times, it will be useful to set up global options, global options
are set like this:
]]>
Any global option will be overriden by anything defined within channel
elements (see )
For example, to change the background color of the stats page, you
could do:
]]>
You can set many options in a single set:
]]>
The above will set the language on the statistics page to DE (Deutsch,
German) and set the time offset to +1.
All options available are mentioned in the reference documentation.
Ignoring links
It's possible to ignore links in the "Most referenced URLs" section:
]]>
Including common settings for various channels
If you have, for example, more than one channel, where the users are the
same, or you don't want to maintain more than one user file, you can use
the "include" setting in the main config file:
]]>
This will include the file /home/vetinari/pisg/users.cfg in the config
at the place where the include statement is set.
Note, that you can NOT include a file from an included file!
Changing the layout of your stats page
The standard layout and colors in the outputted HTML page are made to be
somewhat clean and neutral. But you have the chance to change the layout
yourself.
There are a few predefined color schemes for you to use, use the
option when using them. The
colorschemes distributed with pisg are: default (which is the default),
darkgalaxy, darkred, justgrey, ocean, orange_grey, pisg, softgreen.
When changing it, you need a fair knowledge of CSS (Cascading Style
Sheets). CSS is what most of the web uses today to define styles and
layout on HTML pages.
With the pisg distribution, look in the layout
directory. In it resides default.css which is the
file being included onto the HTML page. Open it in a text editor like
vi or notepad. Then change it until you're happy with it. Be aware that
you might want to look at the HiCell and HiCell2
options through pisg.cfg for changing the last two colors.
If you have created a nice stylesheet which other can take advantage of,
you are encouraged to send it to the pisg mailing list so that it can be
distributed with the next version of pisg.
If you want to embed the statistics into another page, use the "none" color scheme.
Pisg will then omit the HTML header and write only the body part.
Running pisg
When everything is set up in the pisg configuration file (pisg.cfg),
then you simply run pisg on the command-line.
Using Linux, BSD or another UNIX-like system:
user@host:pisg-0.37$./pisg
Using Windows:
c:\pisg>perl pisg
The program will run and parse the logfiles you specified in the
configuration file.
If you are using Linux, BSD or another UNIX-like system and want run
pisg automatically several times a day, then see the
crontab file in the scripts/
directory.
For Windows, see the windows-upload-ftp.txt file
with the pisg distribution, this file is also placed in the
scripts/ directory.
Obtaining help and reporting bugs
If your problem could not be resolved through here, then you should send
an e-mail to the pisg mailing list. You can subscribe and see more info

channel.
Default Unset FormatFormatthe logfile format
Logfile = "channel.log"
Format = "eggdrop"
Maintainer = "John"
]]>
DescriptionFormat is used to define the format of the logfile,
pisg supports a various number of different logfiles, see the FORMATS
file included with the pisg distribution. If your logfiles have the
suffix .gz or .bz2, they will automatically be decompressed and read by
pisg.

LogDir = "logs/"
Format = "eggdrop"
OutputFile = "mychan%t.html"
OutputTag = "-week"
]]>
DescriptionOutputTag specifies a string that will replace
occurrences of "%t" in . This option is most
useful when used as a command line switch (-t) to pisg in conjunction with
(-nf). Example:
Leaving out the OutputTag settings from the above
pisg.conf snippet, this writes both the full statistics (mychan.html) and
statistics for the last week (mychan-week.html) using the same pisg config
file. (Assuming that there are separate logfiles for each day.)
Default unset LogfileLogfilename of logfile to parse
Logfile="/home/foo/eggdrop/logs/mylog.txt"
Format = "eggdrop"
]]>
Description
This defines the filename of the logfile to parse for the channel. If
you want to parse a directory full of logfiles, you should use the
option instead. Providing this option multiple
times will parse multiple files in the order the statements appear.
Wildcards (* ? []) will be expanded.

Default unset LogDirLogDirparse a directory full of logs
LogDir="/home/foo/eggdrop/logs/"
Format = "eggdrop"
]]>
Description
When LogDir is defined to valid path to a directory,

for the statistics page. Actually it's the CSS file being included.
CSS files distributed with pisg are: darkgalaxy, darkred, default,
justgrey, ocean, orange_grey, pisg, softgreen (omit the .css). The file
will be included statically in the generated HTML page. If you give a file
name or URL (i.e. a color scheme name with .css or a path), the file will
be linked to instead. Using "none" will cause pisg to write only the body
of the page; use this to include the statistics into a custom page. See

will still be sent.
Default 0 (disabled) CacheDirCacheDiruse a cache to speed up log parsing
]]>
Description
Setting this option makes pisg dump the results of log parsing into cache
files. The next time pisg is run, it compares the timestamp of the log(s)
with the timestamp stored in the cache file. When the log was not changed,
the cached data is used. (This means that it does not work if you only
have a single big logfile. Split the log at arbitrary points and use
or ="dir/*".)
Note that the cache files should be deleted when the pisg config file is
changed since the cache data uses the old config settings.
does not work especially well with the
cache when using different settings.

]]>
DescriptionUserPics allows you to configure the number of user
pictures per row. Per default, one picture will be shown. Since pictures
are usually higher than one line of text, this lets the table grow. With
settings greater than 1, several pictures will be placed next to each
other. A good setting would be UserPics=3 and pictures
of size 60x60. Set UserPics to no or 0 to disable user
pictures. The latter is useful if you share a user config file between
channels and want to disable user pictures for some channels.

user pictures are located, relative to the current directory. This setting
is used to choose random pictures if ? or * (globbing characters) are used
in the picture name. ? matches a single character, * matches a (possibly
empty) string. The default is the setting.

Format = "xchat"
Charset = "utf-8"
]]>
Description
The pisg stats page defines a character set in a meta tag, this can be
used if your country is using a different one than the default. Pisg
will also use this setting to convert the language templates from
if the language defines a source charset.
Note: you also have to tell your webserver to transmit the charset to
the browser. With Apache, use "AddDefaultCharset off" in the server
config.
Default iso-8859-1 LogCharsetLogCharsetcharacter set for logfiles
Logfile = "channel.log"
Format = "xchat"
Charset = "iso-8859-1"
LogCharset = "utf-8"

Text::Iconv. Using this option slows down log processing.
Default empty (no conversion) LogCharsetFallbackLogCharsetFallbackfallback character set for logfiles
Logfile = "channel.log"
Format = "xchat"
Charset = "utf-8"
LogCharset = "utf-8"
LogCharsetFallback = "iso-8859-1"
]]>
DescriptionLogCharsetFallback defines a fallback charset for
the conversion. This is useful if you
have mixed unicode/iso-8859-* logs. Pisg will first try the conversion
from . If that fails,
LogCharsetFallback is used. Note that this only works
for charsets where certain byte sequences are illegal, like UTF-8. (In
short: LogCharset = utf-8,
LogCharsetFallback = iso-8859-15 works, the other way
round does not.)
