Railtracker

Tracks user interactions with your site including, page views, logins, custom actions, etc.

Requests/Responses

Railtracker looks at incoming server responses and stores information about it in our database. It stores the following for all requests:

  • user id
  • cookie id (for anonymous visitors)
  • url
  • laravel route
  • device info
  • agent info
  • request method (PUT, PATCH, etc)
  • referring url
  • language
  • ip
  • date

It stores the following for all responses:

  • request id
  • status code returned
  • response duration (how long it took the server to respond)
  • date

Exceptions

Railtracker also stores any error/exception information that happens while the server processes the request:

  • request id
  • exception code
  • exception line
  • exception class
  • exception file
  • exception message
  • exception trace

Media Playback

The last part of railtracker is media playback tracking. It tracks how many seconds of any given content that a user watches/consumes. The data it stores looks like this:

  • media id (usually a vimeo video id or youtube video id)
  • user id
  • seconds played
  • current second (where the user currently is in the video)
  • date

Final Note

Railtracker is purely a tool for storing the above information, it does not process or analyze the information in any way.
