Name of affected component: Measurement Protocol
Issue summary:
I have tested this with an application Google Analytics account.
If I send
https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&tid=UA-XXXX-1&cid=74D02BC4786B&t=ev
ent&ec=BreakingThings&ea=WithApplication&cd=ScreenName&an=ApplicationName&aid=Ap
plicationId&av=3.0&aiid=1.0
A new hit is recorded and there is data in the Event report as well.
If I send
https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&tid=UA-xxxxxxx-1&cid=74D02BC4786B1&
t=event&ec=BreakingThings&ea=NoApplication
No new user is recorded and no event data is displayed.
If I send the first request again out comes the missing report data. If I
send the second one again everything disappears.
Steps to reproduce issue:
1. Send
https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&tid=UA-XXXX-1&cid=74D02BC4786B1&t=e
vent&ec=BreakingThings&ea=NoApplication
2. check realtime.
3. send
https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&tid=UA-XXXX-1&cid=74D02BC4786B&t=ev
ent&ec=BreakingThings&ea=WithApplication&cd=ScreenName&an=ApplicationName&aid=Ap
plicationId&av=3.0&aiid=1.0
4. check realtime again.
5. go back and forth.
Expected output:
What do you expect to see after performing the above steps?
Documentation does not state that application name or anything else is required
for events. The debug of the request says that its valid. We either need to
fix the documentation to state that the items are required and then fix the
debug of the request that it is invalid.
Or figure out why is weird with the reports that missing data causes real-time
to get flaky.
Actual results:
What do you actually see after performing the above steps?
Really strange results when sending events with and without application name.
