Google Analytics - track one space

Victor Prasad

Hello,

We use Google Analytics for our whole Confluence instance (just one .js tag putin the custom html)

If I want to track just one space. I went ot behaviour - all pages and did a search for the space key - but I think that just takes me to the main page. How do I track all visits to one space?

Thanks

Add a custom dimension which tracks the space key, then in Google Analytics you can simply filter on the space key to see the results for just that space.

See my blogpost - Tracking Atlassian Confluence usage with Google Analytics - for how to do this, or copy the code below:

<script>
  // Standard Google Universal Analytics code
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
  AJS.toInit(function(){
    ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', 'auto');
    // Add a page-level custom variable to record the space-key
    if (typeof AJS.params.spaceKey === 'string') {
      ga('set', 'dimension1', AJS.params.spaceKey); // Set a `spaceKey` dimension at page level
    }
    ga('send', 'pageview');
  });
</script>

Wow! That is fantastic!

We do not use the Google Analytics Plugin, instead, we just added the tracking code to the Custom HTML.

Will this still work?

Substitute my GA code instead UA-XXXX-Y?

Thanks!

Yes, that's correct

Great!

I don't have the Google Analytics Plugin - will I still be able to get this info easily?

For this part:

"You now have a Custom Dimension named Confluence Space Key which is available for use within the Google Analytics interface. Next, you’ll need to populate this custom dimension with some data. "

I see this:

var dimensionValue = 'SOME_DIMENSION_VALUE';
ga('set', 'dimension1', dimensionValue);

dimensionValue is the space key?

And where does this code go? In my custom HTML?

Sorry for the noob questions.

Thanks,
