- Component filtering
- Async/await pattern
- Empty result handling
- Error logging
### 2. Visualization
ASCII-based visualizations for terminal output:
- Horizontal bar charts with Unicode characters
- Time series sparklines
- Formatted tables with alignment options
- Color-blind friendly (no colors, just text)
### 3. Export Capabilities
Multiple export formats:
- SQL queries for external tools
- JSON output for programmatic access
- Formatted text reports
- Python dictionaries for integration
### 4. CLI Integration
Full CLI coverage with:
- Consistent command structure
- Help documentation
- JSON output option
- File output support
- Progress feedback
## Data Schema
### Assumed Table Structure
The analytics module assumes a `sessions` table with this structure:
```sql
CREATE TABLE sessions (
session_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
component_name TEXT NOT NULL,
start_time TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
end_time TIMESTAMP,
duration_seconds INTEGER,
quality_score REAL,
project TEXT,
error_occurred BOOLEAN,
error_message TEXT
);
```
**Note**: The table needs to be created for analytics to work. The module will work with the existing Session-Buddy database schema.
## Usage Examples
### CLI Examples
```bash
# Basic statistics
session-buddy analytics sessions --days 7
# Filter by component
session-buddy analytics sessions --component admin-shell
# JSON output
session-buddy analytics sessions --json > stats.json
# Comprehensive report
session-buddy analytics report --days 30 --output report.txt
# Export SQL for Grafana
session-buddy analytics sql session_stats --days 30 > query.sql
```
### Python API Examples
```python
from session_buddy.analytics import SessionAnalytics
analytics = SessionAnalytics()
# Get statistics
stats = await analytics.get_session_stats(days=7)
# Visualize
output = analytics.visualize_session_stats(stats)
print("\n".join(output))
# Generate report
from session_buddy.analytics import create_session_summary_report
report = create_session_summary_report(stats, components, errors)
```
### Integration Examples
```python
# Pandas integration
import duckdb
conn = duckdb.connect("~/.claude/data/reflection.duckdb")
df = conn.execute("SELECT * FROM sessions").df()
# Jupyter notebook
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df.plot(kind='bar', x='component_name', y='total_sessions')
plt.show()
```
## Testing
### Test Coverage
```bash
# Run unit tests
pytest tests/unit/test_analytics_module.py -v
# With coverage
pytest tests/unit/test_analytics_module.py --cov=session_buddy.analytics --cov-report=html
# Current coverage estimate: ~85%
```
### Test Categories
1. **Query Methods**: Test all query methods with mock data
1. **Visualization**: Test chart, table, and sparkline generation
1. **Data Classes**: Test to_dict() conversions
1. **Export**: Test SQL export functionality
1. **Integration**: Test end-to-end workflows
## Performance Considerations
### Query Optimization
- Time range filtering reduces data scanned
- Component filtering provides early pruning
- LIMIT clause on large result sets
- Indexed columns (component_name, start_time)
### Recommendations
- Use appropriate time ranges (don't query all data)
- Filter by component when possible
- Use LIMIT on component queries
- Archive old data for performance
## Future Enhancements
### Potential Features
1. **Real-time Monitoring**: WebSocket-based live updates
1. **Advanced Visualizations**: Plotly integration for interactive charts
1. **Machine Learning**: Anomaly detection in session patterns
1. **Custom Dashboards**: User-defined dashboard templates
1. **Alert System**: Email/webhook alerts for error rates
1. **Historical Trends**: Month-over-month comparison
1. **Cohort Analysis**: User behavior cohorts
1. **Forecasting**: Predict future session loads
### API Extensions

await analytics.predict_capacity(days=30)
await analytics.detect_anomalies(threshold=2.0)
