Re: [aerogear-dev] Metrics Endpoint (was: Re: Advanced Analtyics, new PR and call to the client tech leads)

Hi, as discussed on the previous thread, there will be a new endpoint to 'track' the "App opened/launched due to received push notification". Internally, on the UPS, the Push Message has an ID, which get's append to the payload of the notification, like here: https://github.com/matzew/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/blob/analytics/push... On the client SDKs this will be read and a HTTP call made to the soon introduced MetricsEndpoint. Currently this info is send to the RegistrationEndpoint, including the deviceToken/registrationId. However, I think that the deviceToken/registrationId is currently not needed for metrics, since we are just interested in anonymous "app launched/opened due to push", and not a specific "DEVICE X did open, while DEVICE Y did not yet open". So all we really need is the ID of the push notification, to be processed by our Metrics Service https://github.com/matzew/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/blob/analytics/jaxr... Therefore my proposal is have an endpoint: PUT /metrics/pushmessage/{pushMessageID} I think PUT is good/best, because there is nothing really created on the server, it's more updating the 'counter' on the existing PushMessageInformation object. Thoughts? -Matthias
