Usage Analytics

We want to understand how Paco is growing so that we can do resource planning

We have established a milestone to track items in this project. Usage Analytics Milestone

Questions we would like to answer:

• How many experiments have been created (ever, last year, last quarter, last month(?))
• How many experiments are active now
• How many experiments are public (ever, last year, last quarter, last month(?), now)
• How many people (researchers?) have created experiments (ever, last year, last quarter, last month(?))
• How many participants are there (ever, last year, last quarter, last month(?), now), 7day?, other avgs?
• How many universities have used PACO?
• What is the usage of PACO by country?
• What is the usage of PACO by language?
• What is the breakdown of usage by platform (Android, iOS, web)? Same avgs and time frames.
• What OS version are Android users using to participate in PACO?
• What OS version are the iOS users using to participate in PACO?
• What browsers are used?
• How many visits do the website get?
• How many visits does the blog get?

How do we want to do this?

Collection of metrics

• Some metrics require timestamps, e.g. experiment creation per month counts, etc..

• Some metrics can be queried in batch, e.g., total counts, installs per client app,

• We need to build some collectors for these things at the frontend and record with timestamps.

• We need to set up some batch jobs that run weekly for some stats and for generating reports.

• We need to host a dashboard somewhere to share with all stakeholders.

What about up til now?

Let's do logs analysis where possible to answer these questions
