Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic. It provides insights into user behavior, traffic sources, and conversion metrics.

Before you begin

To begin monitoring Google Analytics, ensure you have the following components and permissions in place:

• OpenLM components: OpenLM Cloud Broker, approved in Broker Hub.
• Platform-specific Requirements: You'll need administrative access to your Google Analytics account to create a Service Account with the necessary API access and permissions.

Configure data collection

1. Sign in to your Google Analytics account.

2. Select Admin in the lower-left corner.

3. In the Property column, select Data Streams.

4. Choose the relevant data stream for your website.

5. Look for the Measurement ID, which starts with "G-" followed by a series of letters and numbers. This is your Google tag ID.

6. Add Credentials: In the OpenLM Cloud Broker dashboard, find the Google Analytics integration and type your Account ID.
