nitrc:User Guide - Access Tracking (Google Analytics)

From NITRC Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

You can use Google Analytics to track access to your NITRC tool/resource, including hits to tool/resource pages and downloads. After registering a Google Analytics Web Property ID with NITRC, NITRC will call Google Analytics whenever your tool/resource pages are accessed, and Google Analytics will do the rest.

First, you must sign up for a Google Analytics account and sign in to this account. Add a new profile by selecting "Add Website Profile." Select "Add a profile for a new domain" and use "nitrc.org" for the URL of the site (not www.nitrc.org).

You will then get a Web Property ID for this profile; the ID is a string of the form "UA-1234567-1." Log in to NITRC and go to the main Admin page of the tool/resource you would like to track. Put the Web Property ID in the box marked "Google Analytics ID."

Information about access to your NITRC tool/resource pages, downloads, etc., can then be found by logging in to your Google Analytics account and looking at the nitrc.org profile. Data may take up to 24 hours to appear.
