IMPORTANT: due to the security updates since CrushFTP version 10.5.2+ any JDBC driver jar file needs to be placed into the CrushFTP10/plugins/lib/ directory, or it won't load.

Download the latest mysql connector J for you mysql server from their website.
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
Choose the 'platform independent' type download, and extract the archive. There will be a jar file inside that extracted folder.
I suggest placing the mysql-connector-java-8.0.28.jar file from this in the plugins/lib folder of CrushFTP and giving it the name "mysql.jar".

Then go to Preferences, stats config and set the following items:

stats_db_url: jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/crushftp_stats
stats_db_driver: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
stats_db_user: root
stats_db_driver_file: plugins/lib/mysql.jar

Use MySQL Workbench and make a new DB with the name "crushftp_stats" (or adjust the URL above to reference the name you choose.) Below is the schema to put in it:

CREATE TABLE META_INFO(RID DOUBLE NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,SESSION_RID DOUBLE NOT NULL,TRANSFER_RID DOUBLE NOT NULL,ITEM_KEY VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT NULL,ITEM_VALUE VARCHAR(2000) DEFAULT NULL);

CREATE TABLE SESSIONS(RID DOUBLE NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,SESSION VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT NULL,SERVER_GROUP VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT NULL,USER_NAME VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT NULL,START_TIME DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,END_TIME DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,SUCCESS_LOGIN VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT NULL,IP VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT NULL);

CREATE TABLE TRANSFERS(RID DOUBLE NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,SESSION_RID DOUBLE NOT NULL,START_TIME DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,DIRECTION VARCHAR(8) DEFAULT NULL,PATH VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,FILE_NAME VARCHAR(2000) DEFAULT NULL,URL VARCHAR(2000) DEFAULT NULL,SPEED INTEGER DEFAULT NULL,TRANSFER_SIZE DOUBLE DEFAULT NULL,IGNORE_SIZE VARCHAR(1) DEFAULT NULL);

ALTER TABLE `TRANSFERS` ADD INDEX  (`SESSION_RID`,`TRANSFER_SIZE`,`DIRECTION`,`IGNORE_SIZE`,`START_TIME`);

That is it. Now the statistics data should be going to the MySQL tables, and reports will automatically run against those tables too.

Setup Auto increment primary keys#

1. On prefs.XML (find it at CrushFTP install folder) change the tag value "stat_auto_increment" to true.

2. Change the RID column (on META_INFO, SESSIONS and TRANSFERS table) to be auto incremented and data type from DOUBLE to BIGINT.

ALTER TABLE `META_INFO` CHANGE COLUMN `RID` `RID` BIGINT(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

ALTER TABLE `SESSIONS` CHANGE COLUMN `RID` `RID` BIGINT(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

ALTER TABLE `TRANSFERS` CHANGE COLUMN `RID` `RID` BIGINT(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

3. Adjust insert queries. Remove the RID value from all insert query.



Change stats_insert_meta_info from:

INSERT INTO META_INFO (RID, SESSION_RID, TRANSFER_RID, ITEM_KEY, ITEM_VALUE) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)

to:

INSERT INTO META_INFO (SESSION_RID, TRANSFER_RID, ITEM_KEY, ITEM_VALUE) VALUES (?,?,?,?)

stats_insert_sessions from:

INSERT INTO SESSIONS (RID, SESSION, SERVER_GROUP, USER_NAME, START_TIME, END_TIME, SUCCESS_LOGIN, IP) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)

to:

INSERT INTO SESSIONS (SESSION, SERVER_GROUP, USER_NAME, START_TIME, END_TIME, SUCCESS_LOGIN, IP) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)

stats_insert_transfers from:

INSERT INTO TRANSFERS (RID, SESSION_RID, START_TIME, DIRECTION, PATH, FILE_NAME, URL, SPEED, TRANSFER_SIZE, IGNORE_SIZE) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,'N')

to:

INSERT INTO TRANSFERS (SESSION_RID, START_TIME, DIRECTION, PATH, FILE_NAME, URL, SPEED, TRANSFER_SIZE, IGNORE_SIZE) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,'N')
