Config

The client config is provided by the server. An opportunity to reconfigure the client happens every time the extension uploads data. This gives us the opportunity to scale up or down (or turn off completely) any data sent to us by reconfiguring the extension on the fly.

GUID

The metrics extension sends a header with a client ID specifying a unique extension install.

  • Correlate unique extension installs to data using the Client ID

Backend

Take uicommand event stream and put it in to an aggregate database, query-able over date ranges.

Frontend

  • Show aggregate uicommands over a specific time (ex: 3000 back button clicks for 100 users on October 17th, 2007)

API

  • Query frontend information via API and have results represented in XML
