OK, then, you're set :-)

I mean, consider it writing a feature that is "tracking use of features".
It seems similar in concept to integrated A/B testing, and I imagine
there are gems for that you could use for ideas.

HTH!

we do have google analytics - but I'm not sure how I would use it to answer
questions re percentage of users. Am I missing something?

ok - two examples:

1) visited the dashboard (identified by a url, controller/action)
2) clicked on a button that showed a 'you need to upgrade to use this
feature' message (no interaction with the server)


in both cases, it would be easy for me to call some js code

log_feature(user_id,feature_name)


thoughts?

thanks,

Rob

It seems to me that this is very dependent on your exact definition
of "used" and "feature", as well as how isolated these "features" are
in your application.

Perhaps you could provide a more concrete example?

Have you tried just Google Analytics? Or Splunk for log analysis?

[Rails] How to monitor feature usage

[Rob Jonson]

Hi Folks,

I'd like to be able to answer questions like

'over the last week, what proportion of my users used feature XXX'

or even

'over the last week, what proportion of active users used feature XXX'

can anyone recommend a service / gem / pattern to help me do this?

cheers,

Rob
