Google analytics - abnormal increase of users

[WILLIAN]

I recently migrated dspace from version 5.X to 7.3 and since migration I have noticed that the amount of active users has increased more than 10 times already the next day. Has anyone gone through the same experience? Is it a bug of version 7.3?

Note: This DSpace instance has been active since 2008, has gone through several migrations and has seen organic growth in analytics over time.

Dear Willian,

I advise all management types in our organization to take any statistics numbers with a grain of salt because measuring accurately is incredibly difficult. Having said that, the best way to see real traffic hitting your server is by looking at the web server logs. Our site has noticeably more traffic on Sundays for some reason (I think it's something about harvesting the REST API). So check the Apache or nginx logs.

Regards,

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your response.

After a week of the migration, I understand that there is some flaw in the account of active users in google analytics, as the number has stabilized at about 10 times the value measured for more than 10 years. Perhaps DSpace is reporting the same access multiple times, but I don't have expertise in this area to go deeper.

Best regards
