Analyst

Table of Contents

About Analyst

Analyst collects information about the virtual economy and presents that information to the player. In its Economy panel, Analyst answers questions such as the following:

How much gold did I earn and how?
How much gold did I spend and on what?
How am I doing in the auction house?
What have I looted from mobs?
What items did I consume?
What items did I produce?
How many currencies (marks, badges, emblems) have I collected?
What have I deposited or withdrawn from the guild bank?
What is my gathering and crafting activity?
... and much more

All reports can be shown over a configurable period (days, weeks, month).

Screenshots

The Economy panel lets you choose between the various reports offered by Analyst. Also, the reporting period of time can be chosen. Central information is displayed in the top frame. Data from two selected reports in shown in the bottom frames.

Economy Panel

For the This Week report, the start day of week can be configured in the options. For example, a raid player may want to set the start day of week to the beginning of the raid ID period.

If you mouseover a statistic item, a tooltip provides detailed drill-down information on that statistic:

Detail Information

Usage

If you have a Lightweight Data Broker (LDB) container add-on such as Titan Panel, Analyst shows in that container. Left-clicking the Analyst icon toggles the Economy panel; right-clicking the icon shows the options.

If you do not have an LDB container, type /analyst economy to toggle the Economy panel and /analyst options to show the options.

Analyst provides a key binding to toggle the Economy panel. You may want to assign a key to that binding to gain quick access to Analyst.

There seems to be a lua error since 5.4.1 that I've tracked to Analyst. It only happens when I have analyst enabled. Steps to reproduce;

Addons enabled: Analyst, Bugsack, Bug Grabber, Bazooka.

Login, check buggrabber for errors (none)

Show Map (hit "M") and an error pops up asking to disable the addon.

"Analyst has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI."

Bugsack info:

1x [ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN] AddOn "Analyst" tried to call the protected function "IsDisabledByParentalControls()".
!BugGrabber-r198-release\BugGrabber.lua:552: in function <!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua:552>
<in C code>
FrameXML\MainMenuBarMicroButtons.lua:229: in function "UpdateMicroButtons"
FrameXML\WorldMapFrame.lua:272: in function <FrameXML\WorldMapFrame.lua:255>
<in C code>
FrameXML\UIParent.lua:1819: in function "SetUIPanel"
FrameXML\UIParent.lua:1624: in function "ShowUIPanel"
FrameXML\UIParent.lua:1545: in function <FrameXML\UIParent.lua:1541>
<in C code>
FrameXML\UIParent.lua:2262: in function "ShowUIPanel"
FrameXML\UIParent.lua:2246: in function "ToggleFrame"
<string>:"TOGGLEWORLDMAP":1: in function <string>:"TOGGLEWORLDMAP":1

Locals:
nil

If I only have Analyst, Bugsack and Buggrabber loading the error doesn't happen. So it must be something to do with the databroker display in conjunction with Bazooka. However, if I load every addon (dozens of them) but not Analyst I get no error.

To avoid LUA errors in patch 5.0.4 you will need to edit Analyst/Capture.lua by changing GetNumPartyMembers() to GetNumGroupMembers() and removing GetNumRaidMembers().

ie. This:

if (GetNumPartyMembers() > 0 or GetNumRaidMembers() > 1) and

to this:

if (GetNumGroupMembers() > 0) and

There are two instances in the functions Analyst:CHAT_MSG_MONEY (line 609) and Analyst:CHAT_MSG_LOOT (line 623).

I love this addon, and can't imagine not having it, but I've recently started running into an odd problem. When killing mobs, especially large packs I get a FPS drop on every death. Not every time I loot, but every time a mob dies. Addon profiler is showing abnormally high CPU usage when a mob dies from Analyst. All my other addons seem normal usage, and with Analyst off the FPS drop doesn't occur. I've been trying for a week to figure out if it's a conflict between analyst and another addon, but it's not going well. Any suggestions for types of addons that might conflict with Analyst? Thanks for the great addon btw!

In order to do its biddig, Analyst passively hooks numerous functions and listens to numerous events. None of them are specifically tied to the death of a mob, though. UNIT_DEATH is not even included in the events that Analyst listens to. So, I assume this is an undesired side effect. If you can gain any additional profiling insight into what function exactly consumes the CPU cycles, that would be much appreciated.

Is there any way to disable the tracking of gold withdrawn from/depositted to the guild bank. I have a number of alts that I use to make gold that are all in my own personal 'bank' guild, and that constantly withdraw and deposit gold. This obviously distorts the gold gained and gold spent values quite a lot.

Other than that, great addon. Thanks.

I still don't get it, for this session total gold gained 94 - except 90 from question, 59 from vendoring, and only 34 spent on reparing. That doesn't make 94

Ok, I don't get this addon at all.
It says "total gold gained: 332", "total gold spent: 50", Total currency gained 29" ?! Surely that's 282 gained?!

"Currency" as an in-game term refers to badges, emblems, valor Points, etc., but not to gold.

I got a problem : if i mail some gold to an alt, and use that money to buy something, it appears twice in the spent gold.

In an accounting sense, this is correct. The double spending is offset by the gold also appearing as gold gained by mail on the alt. So in summary, the gold is only spent once.

First off, I love this addon for all of the features it has. But, it doesn't keep the stats after 30 days. I am a stats man. And, I love to keep track of things like mobs and items and gold. I am hoping that you can make another menu panel so that I can keep track of lifetime stats as well. Also, you only have the top tens in the tooltips. Is it possible to have all of them. Instead of just the top tens.
For ex. you killed 36 different types of mobs. Instead of keeping the top ten, have all of them in the tooltip. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks ahead of time
Very Avid Fan

Please feel free to post this as a suggestion in a Wowace ticket. Longer term statistics is an often requested feature. This will likely be worked on when porting the add-on to Cataclysm.

For your enjoyment - save for up to 450 days ...

in Locale\Local-enUS.lua, change this:

-- Periods
L["SESSION"] = "Session"
L["TODAY"] = "Today"
L["YESTERDAY"] = "Yesterday"
L["THIS_WEEK"] = "This Week"
L["THIS_MONTH"] = "This Month"
L["LAST_7_DAYS"] = "Last 7 Days"
L["LAST_30_DAYS"] = "Last 30 Days"

To this:

-- Periods
L["SESSION"] = "Session"
L["TODAY"] = "Today"
L["YESTERDAY"] = "Yesterday"
L["THIS_WEEK"] = "This Week"
L["THIS_MONTH"] = "This Month"
L["LAST_7_DAYS"] = "Last 7 Days"
L["LAST_30_DAYS"] = "Last 30 Days"
L["LAST_60_DAYS"] = "Last 60 Days"
L["LAST_90_DAYS"] = "Last 90 Days"
L["LAST_120_DAYS"] = "Last 120 Days"
L["LAST_150_DAYS"] = "Last 150 Days"
L["LAST_180_DAYS"] = "Last 180 Days"
L["LAST_270_DAYS"] = "Last 270 Days"
L["LAST_360_DAYS"] = "Last 360 Days"
L["LAST_450_DAYS"] = "Last 450 Days"

In the main Analyst.lua file, increase the data lifetime. Change this:

ANALYST_DATA_LIFETIME = 30

To this:

ANALYST_DATA_LIFETIME = 450

This next one is a little more involved. In EconomyFrame.lua, change this:

-- Periods
ANALYST_PERIOD_SESSION = "SESSION"
ANALYST_PERIOD_TODAY = "TODAY"
ANALYST_PERIOD_YESTERDAY = "YESTERDAY"
ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_WEEK = "THIS_WEEK"
ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_MONTH = "THIS_MONTH"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_7_DAYS = "LAST_7_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_30_DAYS = "LAST_30_DAYS"

To this:

-- Periods
ANALYST_PERIOD_SESSION = "SESSION"
ANALYST_PERIOD_TODAY = "TODAY"
ANALYST_PERIOD_YESTERDAY = "YESTERDAY"
ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_WEEK = "THIS_WEEK"
ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_MONTH = "THIS_MONTH"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_7_DAYS = "LAST_7_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_30_DAYS = "LAST_30_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_60_DAYS = "LAST_60_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_90_DAYS = "LAST_90_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_120_DAYS = "LAST_120_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_150_DAYS = "LAST_150_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_180_DAYS = "LAST_180_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_270_DAYS = "LAST_270_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_360_DAYS = "LAST_360_DAYS"
ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_450_DAYS = "LAST_450_DAYS"

and this:

ANALYST_PERIODS = {
   ANALYST_PERIOD_SESSION,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_TODAY,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_YESTERDAY,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_WEEK,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_MONTH,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_7_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_30_DAYS

to this:

ANALYST_PERIODS = {
   ANALYST_PERIOD_SESSION,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_TODAY,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_YESTERDAY,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_WEEK,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_MONTH,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_7_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_30_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_60_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_90_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_120_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_150_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_180_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_270_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_360_DAYS,
   ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_450_DAYS,

And the last change - change this (@ line 227):

    elseif period == ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_MONTH then
       local dayOfMonth = tonumber(date("%d", today))
       start = today - (dayOfMonth - 1) * 86400
   elseif period == ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_7_DAYS then
       start = today - 6 * 86400
   elseif period == ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_30_DAYS then
       start = today - 29 * 86400

To this:

    elseif period == ANALYST_PERIOD_THIS_MONTH then
       local dayOfMonth = tonumber(date("%d", today))
       start = today - (dayOfMonth - 1) * 86400
   elseif period == ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_7_DAYS then
       start = today - 6 * 86400
   elseif period == ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_30_DAYS then
       start = today - 29 * 86400
   elseif period == ANALYST_PERIOD_LAST_60_DAYS then
       start = today - 60 * 86400

Have been using your addon for quite some time and am very happy with it.

That being said i would like to ask you something:
1. Can you provide statistics for more than 30days or is it Blizz API that forbids it ?
2. Is there any tool that i can export the data outside wow á la Google stats ?

Thanks yet again, keep up your good work!

It's not picking up the cash rewards from the new random LFG tool.

(Perhaps it should monitor total gold, and put changes it can't identify into 'other' so any other new rewards/costs get detected automatically?)

Ticket Created.

There is a Miscellaneous category in the Gold Gained report. For me, the gold from these special rewards shows up there. I might add a new category at some point in the fure and also start tracking the currencies (emblems) rewarded.
