usage-statistics

I want to write an application that logs the usage of other applications on my phone. So for example I get the times I have entered Facebook. I understand there is no way to get a broadcastreceiver to wake up every time Facebook starts. Another way is to have a service that always runs in the background and checks for running apps and goes to sleep every second or so, but I guess this will drain my battery faster. So what is the best way this could be done? is there some kind of log I can look at? The only way to monitor other apps is by monitoring foreground activity. This will drain your

Are there any open source (or I guess commercial) packages that you can plug into your site for monitoring purposes? I'd like something that we can hook up to our ASP.NET site and use to provide reporting on things like: performance over time current load page traffic SQL performance PU time monitoring Ideally in c# :) With some sexy graphs. Edit : I'd also be happy with a package that I can feed statistics and views of data to, and it would analyse trends, spot abnormal behaviour (e.g. "no one has logged in for the last hour. is this Ok?", "high traffic levels detected", "low number of API

I am looking for some frameworks that can be used to collect usage information for Windows desktop application and analyze it. For example, I would like to be able to answer questions like (a) how many times do people use this application in a day (b) which are their favorite menu items, etc. I looked briefly at Google Analytics and Omniture SiteCatalyst but they seem to work only on web applications. While tools like sitecatalyst, GA, YWA etc.. are mostly designed around the web, you can still use them, even for desktop apps. Most of them have APIs where you can send/receive data in a

I obtained several statistics from runs of Z3. I need to understand what these mean. I am rather rusty and non up to date for the recent developments of sat and SMT solving, for this reason I tried to find explanations myself and I might be dead wrong. So my questions are mainly: 1) What do the measures' names mean? 2) If wrong, can you give me pointers to understand better to what they refer to? Other observations are made below and conceptually belong to the two questions above. Thanks in advance! My interpretation follows. DPLL . All the metrics below refer to the jargon of the DPLL

On some of our pages, we display some statistics like number of times that page has been viewed today, number of times it's been viewed the past week, etc. Additionally, we have an overall statistics page where we list the pages, in order, that have been viewed the most. Today, we just insert these pageviews and event counts into our database as they happen. We also send them to Google Analytics via normal page tracking and their API. Ideally, instead of querying our database for these stats to display on our webpages, we just query Google Analytics' API. Google Analytics does a FAR better job

Just wanted to ask the community a quick question. Out of curiosity, would anyone have an idea how the iPhone App "DataMan" and "Data Usage" are pulling data readings of your personal cellular data usage? I've check the web high and low for possible answers and all so far has been dead ends. How could they have gotten their Apps to be Apple approved? Any help or advice would be great! One way to do this would be to install a configuration profile with the proper APN settings which will route all the network traffic through a proxy server. For WiFi, you can set the proxy in the network settings
