make direct linking to event actions view possible #18276

Open danielnaber opened 2 years ago

danielnaber commented 2 years ago

Summary

It would be great if it was possible to specify a direct link to the event actions view, with a specific event opened:

event_actions

Currently, it seems one can only link the events page, and the user will need to select category/action/name and then needs to search for a specific event, and open it with the [+] icon.

Use case: We want to have a link from Grafana to specific Matomo events, as the data in Matomo is more detailed. Another use case is having a bookmark to a specific event, or sending links to a specific event.

Your Environment

@danielnaber It is indeed not possible to create such deep links to reports. But you can use the widgetize feature to directly link a report and supply certain filters and searches. Eg. something like this: https://demo.matomo.cloud/index.php?module=Widgetize&action=iframe&secondaryDimension=eventName&moduleToWidgetize=Events&actionToWidgetize=getAction&idSite=1&period=day&date=yesterday&flat=1&filter_pattern=seek&filter_column=label&show_dimensions=1 Maybe you can actually use something like this in your case

@sgiehl Thank you, that seems to be a good workaround in our case.
