Question by Venkata T. · Nov 15, 2012 at 09:40 PM ·

Setting up Google Analytics plugin for 4.2

Hi,

I am about to setup google analytics plugin. I assume we need a FW rule from the collector so that collector can access the google analytics site?

We have different sites and different urls. So is it sufficient to open FW rule so that it can access the URI or do we need to provide each url with query string to get the access?

For example in the below url: is it sufficient to have rule to access (excluding the query string)

https://www.google.com/analytics/web/

https://www.google.com/analytics/web/?hl=en&pli=1#report/visitors-overview/a18663335w37/

Also any other things i should be taking care of other than the steps mentioned in the plugin article? We have 4.2 version.

Does the Google Analytics plug-in exist fro dT 5.5?

Also, is there any detailed information/documentation how a customer would leverage dT performance data and mesh it with Google A? Sample dashboards and use cases would be very helpful.

Thx.

+Greg

Hey Greg,

The Google Analytics Plugin (located here) should work with 5.5.  I can't help you with use cases, but there is at least one example Dashboard on the Google Analytics Fastpage page (located here) although it's pretty basic.

Thx Ted.

who internally (FTS, other) has dT <> Google A. experience insofar as to help answer some customer facing questions?

If you have specific customer facing questions I suggest you post them on the internal dynaTrace discussion forum

I'd start with the people who have commented on the forum pages asking questions (I believe I recall Rajesh Jain on there for example).  They've clearly used it.  I don't personally know anyone with expertise in it.  Sorry I can't point you in a better direction...

The plugin uses the Data Feed Web Service and with that accesses the following URL: https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds

You can have a look at the source code of the plugin. It is a Community Plugin that I've developed and I also included the code in the download package. Feel free to adjust it to your needs.

In case you have problems I suggest changing the log level of the collector to INFO as the plugin logs out a lot of information, e.g: the list of Profiles you have available with your Google Account. This will help you to figure out what to put in the property "website". It is the value that is logged out as "Profile Name"

hope this helps

Thanks Andi. So i just need to open a firewall rule to this right - https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds

The feeds url doesn't work any more.

I am looking at the source code and seeing if we need to change the URL.

The new analytics API seems to require OAUTH to access.

Hi Rajesh

Great if you look into this. If you make changes to the plugin and get it working let me know and I will upload the updated plugin
