API Usage analytics

[kavitharaju]

Vachan Online needs to track which all features and contents are being accessed by users most, least etc. Can some functionality be provided from back end for this?

This may help. https://pypi.org/project/fastapi-analytics/

• It needs very little coding from our end.
• But needs to depend on their server
• Haven't checked if the kind of analytics they give is what we need

@joelthe1 @kavitharaju @RevantCI How about having GET APIs for analytics with SuperAdmin access to track

• landing page visits
• hit counts of each APIs

[RevantCI]

Yes a get url to vahan engine can be fired from the landing page ui which records some user stats from the browser like device, location etc. Some API code needs to be written and a UI dashboard for the super admin to view it. Alternatively google analytics has the advantage it has the API and reporting UI already created. Some privacy policy also needs to be added to the page as we are collecting user stats.

Yes, those are valid choices, however, I think it more useful to try https://signoz.io/ since it covers other use-cases like logging and monitoring internal services like our DB- all of which we need eventually.
