Hello,
I'm in the process of sketching a statistics package for plugging into my Rails applications. Currently, I just store every page-hit as a record in the database, but this grows very fast at the unnecessary cost of performance and it is too detailed for my needs.
From experiments with RRDTool (RRD is a system to store and display
time-series data), I've found that Round Robin Archives are a way to store massive amounts of information about pretty much anything within a predefined amount of space.
Does anyone have experience, hints/tips or links to information about how to implement something like RRD in Ruby?
Thanks in advance
Gijs Nijholt
