1099373 - Track form usage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Côté [:mcote]]

I am very curious how much traffic our forms get.  Would be lovely if we could track visits (and even better, submissions) on a per-form basis.

Should be fairly simple to grep the access logs for enter_bug.cgi?*format=*. We would need to weed out the guided form and some other false positives. But just having numbers for each occurrence of a custom format by month or longer would be useful.

visits, from the access logs, looking for /form. and format= requests.
numbers on submissions are tricky.  i can think of a few ways to do it, but all involve much more than the time it took to write this script.

these numbers:
- don't take into account products with default forms (such as ipp)
- excludes requests from bots and scripts
- include the following forms which no longer exist:
  - mktgevent
  - dev-engagement
  - brownbag (redirects to the new location)
