Google Analytics Event Tracking for CKAN API

[maxious]

Intercept some CKAN API routes (not autocomplete, i18n etc.) and send a page view and event to Google Analytics via the new Measurement Protocol API https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/

@seanh @rossjones @dread who might review this?

[rossjones]

Unused?

[rossjones]

I guess a run through PEP8 wouldn't hurt either (I don't care but travis does, or at least it did). At least for me, I'd create the threads up-front and feed them via an internal queue, but perhaps it would be worth measuring thread-creation under load. Am sure this'll work in most use-cases though.

@maxious is anything holding you up from responding to @rossjones review? I imagine ti would be nice to get this merged if it was satisfactory ...

@davidread any thoughts at your end?

[davidread]

These are useful changes - if @maxious could tidy up the odd thing suggested by the comments we can merge it.

Heya folks, We'll have this scheduled as part of @maxious 's day job :) Should get things sorted soon. We might get Sergey to do the work, but either way we'll take this on very soon and get it done :)

Feel free to ping me for any other pull requests so that I can schedule work under our CKAN Association gold membership agreement. @maxious kinda has two hats but where its work that Link Digital can take on then you can certainly feel free to put the pressure on me :)

[maxious]

@rgrp @davidread Okay, actioned feedback + PEP8 compliance.

[rufuspollock]

@davidread @rossjones is one of you able to review this? (I'm almost certainly not the right person :-) ...)

[davidread]

I like it. @rossjones ?

[rossjones]

Might be useful to allow people to turn it off if they wish? I didn't miss it did I?

Other than that, looks okay.

[davidread]

@rossjones I guess it's easy enough for someone to add config for turning it off, should this be necessary. Merging.

[davidread]

Thanks @maxious and @Starl3n !

[Starl3n]

hah! I love it when I get credit for doing nothing ;)

This is all work from Maxious. I'm pretty sure he hasn't used and 'day job'
time on this as yet.

Anyhoo - its handy to have stats connected to the CKAN platform requests so
it is good that this can be available to others :)

Cheers,
Steven
