Other[edit]

Software Description Source Documentation
Audit modules (python) Audit modules built on a Python stack. Sadly, deprecated. wikimedia/fundraising/tools
Stats parser Written in Django for some reason, has 3 tasks
  • Loads banner impressions from the sampled beacon files, parsing out banner, campaign, project, country, language, and banner display result (show/hide, hide reason), and rounding off the timestamp to the nearest minute
  • Load landing page impressions from the unsampled donatewiki and foundationwiki logs, selecting certain pages and parsing out the utm_* variables, project, language, and country
  • Count unique email clicks. For landing page impressions with a contact_id,insert utm_source, utm_ampaign, contact_id, and link_id into a table with a unique constraint on those columns, using 'ON DUPLICATE KEY' to discard clicks after the initial one for a given donor and email.

For all the tasks, it filters out certain IPs, UAs, and response codes.
