This is a reference guide for describing how the Admin Dashboard Reports function, the data they’re displaying, the corresponding Data Explorer SQL queries, and where to find the Ruby code for each report.

It’s built using a Rails Model, ApplicationRequest , e.g.
[3] pry(main)> ApplicationRequest.last(10)
=> [#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edcf99f8 id: 4798, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "http_total", count: 3080>,
#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edcf9ac0 id: 4799, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "http_background", count: 1014>,
#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edcf9bb0 id: 4800, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "page_view_crawler", count: 539>,
#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edcf9c78 id: 4801, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "http_2xx", count: 1929>,
#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edcf9d68 id: 4802, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "http_4xx", count: 52>,
#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edcf9e30 id: 4803, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "http_3xx", count: 85>,
#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edcf9f20 id: 4804, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "page_view_anon", count: 40>,
#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edcf9fe8 id: 4805, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "page_view_logged_in", count: 148>,
#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edcfa0d8 id: 4806, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "page_view_logged_in_mobile", count: 134>,
#<ApplicationRequest:0x000055c8edd00a00 id: 4807, date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022, req_type: "page_view_anon_mobile", count: 2>]
The corresponding table you need is application_requests (but I don’t see this exposed in Data Explorer , maybe I missed it?)
The req_type(s) in this report are:
page_view_logged_in
page_view_anon
page_view_crawler
It is regular a sum and group by, so probably, you could start off with, on the Rails console:
ApplicationRequest.where(req_type:["page_view_logged_in", "page_view_anon", "page_view_crawler"]).where('date BETWEEN ? AND ?', '11/14/2022', '11/17/2022')
for example
or the SQL equivalent:
SELECT * FROM application_requests WHERE req_type IN (7, 8, 6) AND (date BETWEEN '11/14/2022' AND '11/17/2022')
Some of the aggregation is already done for you as the data is in a count column.
