<ul></ul><p>This is a great idea and a frequently requested feature. I think people would be more likely to archive their data if this were implemented. IMs from various sites would like to be able to get reports about access to the packages they manage, and individual contributers would like to know who is accessing their metadata and data. A couple of things to consider:</p>
<p>1) privacy: who should be able to see log data for a package? Are there privacy concerns with opening this up beyond administrators and data owners? If so, how does an IM check the access log for their site's packages if the packages are owned by someone else at their site and are set to private ACL rules?</p>
<p>2) Send back raw access events in real time? Reports for individual access events? Reports summarizing access over a certain time period? For many people, just getting a monthly download count for their package might be sufficient.</p>
<p>3) Log reporting from replicas. When objects are in several metacats via replication, people can access them from any of the servers. It would be nice if a logging request was replication aware and could request and aggregate logs from multiple replication servers so that a single report for all download could be provided back to the user.</p> Metacat - Bug #3396: Enable event notification featurehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3396?journal_id=116542008-06-18T18:40:27ZCallie Bowdishbowdish@nceas.ucsb.edu
<ul></ul><p>Here is another request regarding this. It is from Dan Gruener. "Also, we want to upload the datasets for NCEAS but still would like to be notified when data requests come in and people download. Is that possible?" Many ecologist would like this feature.</p> Metacat - Bug #3396: Enable event notification featurehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3396?journal_id=116552008-06-18T19:45:48ZMargaret O'Brienmob@msi.ucsb.edu
