I created a new module called "Aggregate Statistics". It isn't published yet, so don't search for it (it's attached).
It produces aggregate statistics in a way very different than Statistics Pro currently produces.
The difference, as far as I can tell is what are the aggregators. In Stats Pro the information is aggregated by date, i.e., you get a lot of information (number of accesses, number of pages created etc) "by date".
In my module you get information aggregated by path(s), i.e., you define each aggregator as a list of path patterns and the module produces reports aggregating the number of accesses to all paths that match each aggregator for the period asked.
The difference might sound subtle but it really isn't. The two modules provide completely different information despite both providing "aggregated statistics". And more important: you can't deduce the information one of these modules produce from the information produced by the other.
Maybe the best alternative would be to merge "Statistics Pro" and "Aggregate Statistics".
What do you think?
P.S.: Obviously with this proposal I'm also offering help to actually merge my modules features in "Stats Pro".

dave reidFYI I've been actually working on implementing this type of feature in the Analytics module which I'm trying to push as a rewrite-in-D8 initiative. But it can't hurt to have multiple modules working on it.

rsevero commentedThanks for the info.
As you are aiming for D8 I really believe it will be good to have this update of the Statistics Pro module as it will work on D6 and hopefully for D7.
