Is this any different than #118 and #125 ?

feature/GoogleAnalyticsServerSide branch: This branch has a functional server-side Google Analytics posting both an Event and a Pageview for direct link file downloads.. this seems like a decent starting point. You gotta ‘bundle install’ the new gem, and set config/initializers/sufia.rb to a legit GA tracking code to test

Solution from UCSD is to get the direct-link downloads from parsing web logs, not to deal with Hydra codes. It could be a feasible approach because we will include ES statistics to GA anyway, should we update GA cache for this purpose?

wickr commented 7 years ago

Parsing web logs is not a good approach for us since we've moved away from them almost completely with Google Analytics.

closing this in deference to #309
