FYI: Statistics are limited to 5,000 clicks in the default app packaging

[luckow]

At first I thought it was a bug. After reading the documentation, I found that the app package has a default value of 5,000 clicks for the stats. I have no idea if it's a good idea to choose a larger value. In my case, I changed it to 50,000. After restarting the app, the stats show me the detailed clicks in the stats. But between reaching the 5,000 limit and my restart, it has no more clicks.

If you want to change this yourself, this is the variable:

# Max number of visits for each link to have detailed stats
DEFAULT_MAX_STATS_PER_LINK=5000

is this a queue kind of limit? FILO?
Or it stops all stats after the max?

[fbartels]

nobody needs more than 640k of RAM 5000 clicks on a single link

@robi It stops the detailed stats after reaching the limit.

@luckow what other kind are there?

it seems it doesn't have a good way to consolidate stats data that is aging past a certain date/stat count in a useful way.

Were size or performance limitations mentioned past a certain amount?

[luckow]

@robi nope. Nothing special in the .env or issue queue. And: There is no detailed documentation for kutt.

I have added this info in the docs page now https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/kutt/#link-stats
