Exporting credit statistics with db_dump

The program db_dump generates XML files containing your project's credit data. It should be run every 24 hours. Include an entry like

    <tasks>
        <task>
            <cmd>db_dump -d 2 -dump_spec ../db_dump_spec.xml</cmd>
            <output>db_dump.out</output>
            <period>24 hours</period>
        </task>
    </tasks>

in your config.xml file. Make sure the file db_dump_spec.xml is in your project's root directory.

The XML files are written to html/stats/, and the old stats/ directory is renamed to stats_DATE. This clutters up your html/ directory; if you don't like this, create a directory html/stats_archive/ and add the line

<archive_dir>../html/stats_archive</archive_dir>

to your db_dump_spec.xml file.
