Datamining

What is this?

This is a simple Tool to get an idea how a specific installation of Open-Xchange is used. Operating on the MySQL-database exclusively for now it is quite fast and uses few resources. Off-hours are still recommended for its usage to limit any performance-impact, though. It will find its required parameters automatically in the file /opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/configdb.properties. It is also possible to specify all parameters explicitly. Output is a single text-file. The filename starts with "open-xchange_datamining" and includes the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format. The content of the file is camelCased-Parameters, unique and one per line. This should make using these files as input, for example for a visualization, pretty easy.
