It would be cool to have custom events that may be used in different ways, for instance, in games it may be used to track let's say how many players passed certain levels/checkpoints and in regular apps it may be used to measure how many users use specific app features and so on. This supposed to be implemented in SDK as well so we could invoke a special method to track something. I believe you already have it in mind but I would like to bump it a bit :)

It would be helpful to have a package.json that specified the required modules and versions.

Annotated Example:

BTW awesome looking tool and web site. I want to drop Google Analytics for this.

Is it possible to use countly for commercial product ?

Is there any plan to add minimal logging to console for api and frontend? You know even "Listening on port %d" would be helpful.

Front-end JS throws exception for newly created apps without any stats yet.

  Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'join' of undefined 
  countly.device.detail.js:22

Every tracking event is shown under Unknown country.

I found that if there are occasions where something costs 0 in an in-app purchase, it does not display correctly in a bar chart as the 'Sum' seems to not allow 0 values.

This is a critical security issue. Although the app_key is supposed to be kept secret, it's easily extracted from an application with rudimentary reverse engineering or sniffing. Using the app_key, one can easily bypass the admin login and directly access the /o url's. I tested this in incognito mode on my local install like so

http://localhost/o?app_key=01234398f6casdf02c719qwerty903b5d3d2dc8&method=locations

And got a json response with data.

This looks fantastic. Great work!

Would love to see reports, as that is a really essential feature for an analytics package.

thanks

It's very important for us to see how quickly users are upgrading; this isn't currently gathered at all.

RT

I would like to know those new users from a campaign's retention.
For example, the campaign lasts a week. during that week many more new users try my app.
But I like to find out how many of them are still using the app after 1,2,...n days.
So I can compare those users' retention and the other normal users'.

Can you use session frequency to see it?
What's the difference?

After creating a new app in the admin, I select the right time (London) save. I have successfully tested a hit on the server via the simulator, and I'm hoping the time issue is now preventing the device install submitting data, as if I create a new app on the server then the time appears to be correct for a while until I log off and back in again and I get a red image like this http://yfrog.com/odd4mbp

I have quite a few iOS sessions that are showing "Carrier" as the carrier name for the session. I've worked with CoreTelephony before. Getting the carrier name is very straightforward and I have never seen it return the string "Carrier" like that. Is Countly doing something weird in the event that there is no carrier present for a given session?

The frontend is quite blurry in Safari on my Retina MacBook Pro.

Small issue. it would be cool to see iOS/Android versions in devices tab on dashboard.

Assigned to Problems #53. Segmentation values 0-23 overlap with hours of the day and break visualization of event data

I've tried many configurations, but I'm completely stuck how to set those params in config.js

There are 2 paths for config

countly-server/frontend/express/config.js

with this

var countlyConfig = { 
  mongodb: { 
    host: "localhost", 
    db: "countly", 
    port: 27017, 
  }, 
  web: { 
    port: 6001, 
    host: "localhost", 
    use_intercom: true 
  } 
};

and countly-server/api/config.js

var countlyConfig = { 
    mongodb: { 
        host: "localhost", 
        db: "countly", 
        port: 27017, 
        max_pool_size: 1000 
    }, 
    api: { 
        workers: 0, 
        port: 3001, 
        host: "localhost", 
        safe: false, 
        session_duration_limit: 120, 
        max_sockets: 1024, 
        city_data: true 
    }, 
    apps: { 
        country: "TR", 
        timezone: "Europe/Istanbul", 
        category: "6" 
    } 
};

How to set username & password for them?

I've tried
username:
password:
and username:password@localhost options, but they weren't working for me.

It would be great tobBe able to group applications into groups or categories.

Or alternatively, be able to associate "tags" to applications. That way you can assign more than one tag to a application.

Then be able to filter/select group or tag for viewing.

If appliation number aggregation(issue #7) was implemented, then show aggregated numbers based on a group of applications. Or a application with the specific "tag"

Is there any reason not to use expressjs in api?

It would be nice to use because:

• easier read
• easier to maintain
• frontend could mount the api, so countly could be deployed without any proxy

Some setups require a mongo username and password.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Consider 3 events: Event A, Event B, Event C
2. Rearrange their orders to Event B, Event A, Event C via "edit view" (the Gear icon on top left)
3. Save
   • Event order on sidebar updated correctly (B -> A -> C)
4. Invoke "edit view" again
5. Order in the list is still intact (A -> B -> C)

This behavior is quite annoying when you have a lot of custom events, and you want to order them properly.

Test with Mac OS X 10.8.2, Safari 6.0.2 and Google Chrome Canary

I have events reported with multiple segmentation properties. I'd really love to be able to see the data filtered by a specific segmentation value.

For example, events might have A=[morning,afternoon,evening] and B=[win,lose]. I'd like to see counts of each possible B value, where A=morning.

I am running a clean install of 12.07, and sending data to api using HTTP interface.

my system at
http://countly.ianalytics.info
user:demo
pass:demo

for app wikoo, platform versions' data is missing.
for app album, platform versions will show up at default. after click the "iOS|android" icon on the left top, it will only show iOS, and can't return to both/android.
after click at album's platform icon, wikoo's iOS platform diagram show up.

the error msg at console is :

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'trigger' of null jquery.flot.pie.min.js:1
m jquery.flot.pie.min.js:1
t jquery.flot.pie.min.js:1
f.event.dispatch jquery-1.7.1.min.js:3
f.event.add.h.handle.i jquery-1.7.1.min.js:3

I would like the ability to see a time domain view of an event's segmentation breakdown. Right now you can see the total counts for each specific value of a segmentation value, I'd like to see how those counts happened over time. It would look like the current time graph for the event (with no segmentation selected) but the graph would have a colored series for each specific value of the segmentation key.

Both front-end and api are bounded to localhost:

app.listen(common.config.api.port, 'localhost');

Would be nice to put such things to config rather than hardcode them. I don't use ngynx for countly that's why it doesn't work as expected for me.

for example, I want to see yesterday's 23pm status, I don't want to wait until 23pm today.

or:
can we choose some day to check?

Title explains it all. I've installed the server and opened the site up on both my iPhone and iPad and it doesn't look anything like http://count.ly/features. Is this feature still in development?

-Jack

install script fails when calling this command, seems it got removed from the python-software-properties

I had to add the node js repository manually to get countly up and running

in file javascripts/countly/countly.common.js
line 8
countlyCommon.READ_API_URL should not go to localhost
countlyCommon.READ_API_URL = "http://localhost:3001/o";

that makes dashboard can't be accessed from other machine.

Hi,
Is there a way to easily force HTTPS ?
Why did you choose HTTP (not HTTPS) in the default configuration ?
Thank you.

At the moment there is support for different platforms, is there going to be the option for having multiple stores as sub-categories. i.e. Google Play, Amazon, Samsung, Nook, etc?

It is nice seeing it all rolled up into one, but for when reporting comes out it would be great to be able to compare different stores.

Hi folks,

right now I use one machine to deploy all my analytics stuff (sentry, countly). Usually I run those services so that they only listen on localhost. Then I use nginx to proxy the calls to the individual services. Sometimes there's also load balancing involved through nginx' upstream module.

Since I want to run all services as "subdirectories" it would be necessary that countly supports something like this:

var countly = express.createServer();
countly.use('/countly', app);
countly.listen(countlyConfig.web.port);

So my final setup would look something like this:

x.company.com/sentry
x.company.com/countly
x.company.com/countly/i
x.company.com/countly/o

What do you think of supporting this?

The iPhone 5 is still labeled as "iPhone5,x" where "x" is each different worldwide variant.

At the moment it is displaying a stacked chart of count and sum

There should be a button so that it shows either count or sum.

e.g.

2 segment values for in-app purchasing

1st segment value = 20 items at $1 each
2nd segment value = 1 item at $21

In the current format:
the first segment would have a bar 40 high
the second segment would have a bar 22 high

As you can see this is incorrect as it gives the impression that the first segment is more valuable.

A simple button / tickbox to enable or disable the value or sum in the graph would work perfectly.

Hello,

I just installed Countly on a CentOS 6.3 server this morning. It's working pretty good except I can't get the supervisord stuff working. I have a local user the api and frontend run under and I have to start them manually via node and background them.

This works, but obviously ideal. I know your focus is Ubuntu, but is there any plans in the future to support CentOS?

I send data to my countly server directly using example from http://support.count.ly/kb/reference/countly-server-api-reference

like:
"http://myserver/i?app_key=c632fe20fb7f9391aa0f912a649fbe9f3d0bd3d6&device_id=BBB&sdk_version=CCC&begin_session=1&metrics=%7B%22_os%22%3A%22DDD%22%2C%22_os_version%22%3A%22EEE%22%2C%22_device%22%3A%22FFF%22%2C%22_resolution%22%3A%22GGG%22%2C%22_carrier%22%3A%22HHH%22%7D"

but doesn't show up any device info on dashboard.

Hi,

to use this software in europe, you need to ensure, that you fit to the european data privacy policies.
In the first place, anonymization of IP addresses - or what even makes it possible, to identify a user (device token, etc.).

Is there a possibility to fit these regulatory needs?

regards
Henrik

Actually, I didn't use your installer"countly.install.sh",because i don't want to use supervisor&nginx.
and I do all these manually, including installing the neccessary package in ubuntu.
here comes the little problem, the dashboard can't retrieve data from api server, because the snippet just generate IP without the port number

  serverip="`ifconfig | sed -n 's/.*inet addr:\([0-9.]\+\)\s.*/\1/p' | grep -v 127.0.0.1`"

while, when i start up the api server , its default server port is 3001,so I guess it is the reason why I can't get my data. when i change the content of countly.config.js from

  countlyCommon.READ_API_URL = "9.123.146.245/o"

to

  countlyCommon.READ_API_URL = "9.123.146.245:3001/o"

it works!
so is that your problem or mine?
(btw: 9.123.146.245 is my computer ip)

For me, custom events are 90% of what I need.

It would be great to be able to filter or segment this data using all the other analytics: country, device, OS version, etc.

The 'count' under the graph shows the total count for that event, not the count for the segment.

Scenario : I have 100,000+ websites and I want to track each one of them with different id. Initially what I need is simple analytic : page view, total view, total visitor,region...
And I don't really need the realtime part. do you think using countly server good idea?

when I want to do the DEVELOPMENT and replaced /frontend/express/public/javascripts/min/countly.lib.js to /javascripts/countly/countly.template.js
and relanuch the app.js and api.js. the dashboard page stop at loading animation.
My question is could I replace those file because the template.js is much easy to read. thx

It would be cool if you could aggregate all applications user/session/platforms/etc into a main dashboard page?

Possibly even only show a sum of a "group/categories" of apps.

When I click the other countries on the map, there is no response.
