A note to add to the above:

The 'File Visits' section from what we've seen so far doesn't appear to
accurately reflect the number of actual downloads of a file.  From the
back-end of Solr, we tried running a query with parameters as follows:

"params":{
      "q":"*:*",
      "indent":"true",
      "q.op":"OR",
      "fq":["owningItem: -Mysterious Unique Id for the item that owned the
file of interest-",
        "bundleName:\"ORIGINAL\""],
      "rows":"1000",
      "_":"Thirteen-digit-number"}},

The results included at least four responses where staff had gone to the
'Edit' page for the item, but hadn't actually downloaded the file in
question (we could tell because the responses include variables such as
time and epersonid, the latter of which can be used to determine an
authenticated user).

So... is there any way to actually tell whether someone downloaded the file
from the Solr logs?  As it stands, I'm not sure the 'File Visits'
statistics are meaningful.

Thanks,
Carolyn.
