[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-224?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] George Gastaldi commented on FORGE-224: --------------------------------------- Some things to care about: - there should be a confirmation when starting forge the first time - maybe it should be controlled by a static boolean variable, since we don't want to ping the google analytics website after every restart (or do we ?) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

You mentioned in your blog that you just ping GA one time a day, right ? <maxandersen> yes, since otherwise we would ping at every restart of eclipse - that would not be nice <gastaldi> agreed <maxandersen> i tried to be very careful about not generating alot of requests. <gastaldi> yes, very good. I'll study the code you wrote a little more. <maxandersen> so what I was actually considering is to keep the analytics approach for basic usage gathering and *possibly* use trackEvent for some select things - like when you start a server in tools send serverStart event with server type/version as argument. <gastaldi> yes <maxandersen> and then for more complex (i.e. data heavy gathering) loook into push a json document to an openshift backed mongodb server that we could extract some nice data/stats from ... <maxandersen> spring guys actually does this for a bunch of their frameworks/tooling. <maxandersen> just realized that yesterday. <gastaldi> Correct me if I am wrong: when you use GA, you need to track a specific page, and that's where you use jboss.org/tools/usage ? <gastaldi> Hum, so we must have that asap :) <maxandersen> yes <gastaldi> so in your GA console, you see visitors to page tools/usage <gastaldi> but people didn't really visit that page, your API called the GA rest URL and passed this URL as the visited page <gastaldi> is that right ? <maxandersen> yes basically. <gastaldi> got it <maxandersen> and we got one for devstudio.jboss.com/usage too. <maxandersen> just different host/GA-UID used based on parameters {quote} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
