Application Deployment Tracker using Google Analytics
This script uses Google Analytics to track an event whenever a deployment occurs. Calls to this script should be added to your deployment pipeline to be run after a successful deployment.
Since it is using Google Analytics there are some parameters where the names may not be intuitive to this usage. All parameters used are documented here.
GA Parameters
| GA Parameter | Env Variable Name | Required | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tracking ID | TRACKING_ID | true | none | The GA property tracking ID, UA-something |
| User ID | USER_ID | false | none | Project or repo name, ex: silinternational/app-deployment-tracker-ga |
| USER_ID_VALUE_ENV_VAR | false | CI_REPO_NAME | If you want to get data source from another env var, specify the env var name here. For example CI_NAME |
|
| Data Source | DATA_SOURCE | false | script | Name for source of where event came from, ex: script, codeship, etc. |
| DATA_SOURCE_VALUE_ENV_VAR | false | CI_NAME | If you want to get data source from another env var, specify the env var name here. For example CI_NAME |
|
| Event Category | EVENT_CATEGORY | false | app-deployment | Category for events |
| Event Action | EVENT_ACTION | false | master | Action for event, default is "master" for master branch deployments |
| EVENT_ACTION_VALUE_ENV_VAR | false | CI_BRANCH | If you want to pull the event action from another env var, specify the env var name here. For example CI_BRANCH |
|
| Event Label | EVENT_LABEL | false | USER_ID | Friendly name for project that was deployed, will use the same value as USER_ID if not provided |
| Document Title | DOCUMENT_TITLE | false | USER_ID | Friendly name for project that was deployed, will use the same value as USER_ID if not provided |
It may be confusing at first, but we use the env vars above suffixed with _VALUE_ENV_VAR to allow us to load values
dynamically from the CI environment. If you want to specify your own values you should set the _VALUE_ENV_VAR env
var to the name of another env var that contains the value you provide.
For example, if you want Data Source to be "my own source name", you would set the following environment variables:
DATA_SOURCE_VALUE_ENV_VAR=DATA_SOURCEDATA_SOURCE=my own source name
