bbb-analytics

Application that collect analytics from the BigBlueButton Analytics Callback and put it in a postgresql database for analytics purpose

Configuration of the app

The 'BigBlueButton Analytics Callback' https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/develop/record-and-playback/core/scripts/post_events/post_events_analytics_callback.rb is executed after each conference
Set the metadata attributes "meta_analytics-callback-url" to the url of this app : https://bbb-analytics.hosting.com/v1/post_events
In /usr/share/bbb-web/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties set the securitySalt to the same value of JWT_SECURITY_SALT
Running post_events scripts requires that you enable keepEvents=true in bbb-web's bigbluebutton.properties configuration. Or you can also use the param
'meetingKeepEvents=true' in the "meeting creation" call to enable it.

You should use an app like Metabase for analytics purpose of the constituted database
Use the conference id as key, check that two serveur don't generate the same id

Once Postgres is launched, you can start the application with these commands :

» npm install # Récupère les dépendances
» npm run migrate # Applique les migrations
» npm run dev
   ...

The application will be available on http: // localhost: 8100 (8100 is the default port, you can change it with the env variablePORT)

Start the service and initialize the database : docker-compose up - disponible sur http://localhost:8100
To add data to the database (optional): docker-compose run web npm run seed;
Run the tests : docker-compose run web npm test

- docker run --rm --env-file ../.env.bbbanalytics.dev -v $(pwd):/app -w /app -ti -p 8100 node /bin/bash ((with your environment variables in ../.env.bbbanalytics.dev)

» npm run start
