Configuration Query Log Statistics
Reporting Query Log
Introduction
The Personalized Relevance Transformer plugin can also be used to create reports on search behavior. The following functions are supported:
- Filters
- by application
- by date
- …
- Search statistics
- Timeline with details (queries and actions)
Installation
The plugin is already included in Mindbreeze InSpire by default and therefore does not require any additional installation.
Preconditions
See Configuration - Personalized Relevance - Preconditions
Configuration
In Configuration - Personalized Relevance - Configuration you will find the necessary configuration steps.
If you are only interested in the reporting feature and do not want to activate personalized relevance, perform the following steps:
- Open the "Configuration" section of the Mindbreeze Management Center and click on the tab "Indices". Add a new service in the "Services" section by clicking on the "+ Add Service" button. In the list "Service" select the plugin "PersonalizedRelevanceTransformer".
- To improve the performance set the value in the “Boosting Data Cache Refresh Interval Seconds” option to 0. If you use the PersonalizedRelevanceTransformer also for relevance optimization, you may not change this option.
- Optional: configure the option "Application Definitions".
- Optional: configure the "DB Connection Settings".
- Optional: configure the "DB Schema" (Advanced Settings must be enabled)
ATTENTION: If you are using a G6 appliance, you must adjust the value of the “Table Name” option, see Personalized Relevance – DB Schema.
User Interface
You can find the user interface of the query logs in the Mindbreeze Management Center in the menu "Reporting", submenu "Query Logs".
If you are using a G6 Appliance, you can add the URL to the Reporting Service via resources.json. By default, this feature is only visible in CentOS7. The URL looks like this:
“:8443/index/<YOUR SERVICE BIND PORT>/api/reporting/index.html”.
You can find the corresponding service Bind Port in the Services Settings.
Here you can find the documentation how to add a menu entry: Managementcenter Menu
Settings and Filters

Date Filter
You can use the date filter to restrict the time ranges.
In the yellow marked area in the screenshot, preset ranges can be selected.
In the area marked blue in the screenshot, time ranges can be selected in two different ways:
- Select a time period by holding down the left mouse button, selecting an area, and releasing the mouse button.
- Mark a period by selecting two date values with one mouse click each.
Days marked in grey are not selectable, as no searches were made on that day.
Search Statistics
Depending on the settings and filters, the following information is displayed:
Search Count | Number of searches |
Action Count | Number of actions (preview, open hits) |
Average Searches Until Action | Average number of searches until an action was performed |
Max Searches Until Action | Maximum number of searches until an action was performed |
Page Next | Minimum, average, and maximum number of additionally requested pages per query. |
Seconds Between Queries | Minimum, average and maximum time interval in seconds between individual queries |

Timeline
The Timeline is divided into two sections:
- Upper area (summary): Number of sessions, queries, and actions per hour or day.
- Lower area (detail view): Detailed view of the sessions of the selected hour or day.
Summary
The following key figures are displayed:
- Grey bar: number of sessions for this day / hour
- Blue bar: number of queries for this day / hour
- Orange bar: number of actions for this day / hour
These key figures are displayed for each subsequent time unit:
- per hour if only one day is selected in the date filter
- per day if several days are selected in the date filter.
In the area marked yellow in the screenshot, sessions, queries and actions can be shown or hidden by clicking on the respective type.
By clicking on any bar of a day or hour, the detailed view of the respective hour or day is displayed.
Detail View
The detail view displays information on all sessions, grouped by user.
The displayed bars have four different colors to distinguish the type of information:
- Blue: Search and browse to next page
- Red: a search that did not return any results
- Orange: Open or preview action
- Grey: marks the end of the session
By moving the mouse over a bar, a tooltip with further information is displayed.
You can zoom in to see more details at a certain time. A time range can be marked by holding down the left mouse button, selecting a range and releasing the mouse button. To return to the normal view, click the "Reset zoom" button.
