Hi Brian, A few months ago we built and deployed a simple python/django app that can display real-time availability of public workstations, and collects data on when each workstation is offline (as in, unplugged), in use (a user has logged in), or available (not in use). It collects data on when each usage session started and ended, and also when each period of downtime (offline) started/ended. Feel free to check out our github repo at https://github.com/gwu-libraries/loggins - and the public interface is at computers.library.gwu.edu . There's some info on the API at http://computers.library.gwu.edu/usage . It should be fairly easy to define buildings/zones/floors etc. for your specific environment - there shouldn't be anything GWU-specific in there at this point. Please feel free to contact me if you're interested in using it, and I can help with any questions. There are certainly prettier apps out there, but this one works for us right now. *Dan Kerchner* *Senior Software Developer, Scholarly Technology Group * *The George Washington University Libraries Gelman Library2130 H Street, NWWashington, DC 20052202-994-7947 <202-994-7947>[log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>* On Thu, Apr 3, 2014 at 2:18 PM, Brian McBride <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Code4lib Team, > > I was curious what software/systems other organizations are using to track > computer usage statics in their computing labs and what stats are being > collected? > > Thanks, > > Brian > > Brian McBride > Head of Application Development > J.
