Google App Engine中的静态文件统计信息

Question

I've set up some static files in Google App Engine and was wondering if there's any way to track how many times users access those static files.

I've added a file like this in my app.yaml:

- url: /files
  static_dir: files

I would like to track how many downloads I have gotten, if that's possible. Any clues?

Answer 1

Every time somebody is requesting a file (or any kind of request) Google App Engine logs it. So in theory you could write an application that does exactly that since they have the Logs API for it.

Otherwise you could simply check that through the dashboard of your application on

https://appengine.google.com/logs?app_id=s~app-name

and from there through the options to add some filters.
