Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a service offered by Google that monitors web site traffic and generates detailed statistics about the traffic, traffic sources, conversions and sales.

To monitor publications using Google Analytics, you must first set up a Google Analytics account, and obtain the account's tracking ID.

All you then need to do to set up monitoring for a publication is to add the following section parameter to the publication's root section:

wf.ga.tracker.id=tracking-id

where tracking-id is your Google Analytics account tracking ID.

You can optionally override the default behavior of Google Analytics by providing a custom tracker object configuration in an additional section parameter:

wf.ga.tracker.config=configuration

where configuration is a JSON data structure something like this:

{"cookieDomain": "foo.example.com",
"cookieName": "myNewName",
"cookieExpires": 20000}

For further information, see the Google Analytics documentation here. If you do not specify this parameter then Google Analytics' default auto configuration is used.

Once you have made these changes to your site, Google Analytics will start tracking all site visitors and recording statistics about their activities. You can then use the analytical tools on the Google Analytics web site to discover all kinds of information about your site users and their activities on your site.
