# Dimensions
## Dimensions and Metrics

Google Analytics Custom Dimensions are used to track system values and flag values. These
dimensions are aggregated automatically on the backend.
Expand All @@ -25,94 +25,86 @@ One dimension per flag, and although technically there can be an overlap between
simplicity it should remain unique across all CLI commands. The dimension is the value of the
`x-user-analytics` field in the `schema.json` files.

To create a new dimension (tracking a new flag):

1. Create the dimension on analytics.google.com first. Dimensions are not tracked if they aren't
defined on GA.
### Adding dimension or metic.
1. Create the dimension or metric in (https://analytics.google.com/)[Google Analytics] first. These are not tracked if they aren't
defined in Google Analytics.
1. Use the ID of the dimension as the `x-user-analytics` value in the `schema.json` file.
1. Add a new row to the table below in the same PR as the one adding the dimension to the code.
1. New dimension PRs need to be approved by the tooling and DevRel leads.
**This is not negotiable.**
1. New dimension and metrics PRs need to be approved by the tooling lead and require a new (http://go/launch)[Launch].

### Deleting a dimension or metic.
1. Archive the dimension and metric in (https://analytics.google.com/)[Google Analytics].


**DO NOT ADD `x-user-analytics` FOR VALUES THAT ARE USER IDENTIFIABLE (PII), FOR EXAMPLE A
PROJECT NAME TO BUILD OR A MODULE NAME.**

Note: There's a limit of 20 custom dimensions.

# Operating System and Node Version

A User Agent string is built to "fool" Google Analytics into reading the Operating System and
version fields from it. The base dimensions are used for those.

Node version is our App ID, but a dimension is also used to get the numeric MAJOR.MINOR of node.

# Debugging

Using `DEBUG=ng:analytics` will report additional information regarding initialization and
decisions made during the usage analytics process, e.g. if the user has analytics disabled.

Using `DEBUG=ng:analytics:command` will show the decisions made by the command runner.

Using `DEBUG=ng:analytics:log` will show what we actually send to GA.
## Debugging

See [the `debug` NPM library](https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug) for more information.
Using `NG_DEBUG=1` will enable Google Analytics debug mode, To view the debug events, in Google Analytics go to `Configure > DebugView`.

1. using `ng analytics disable --global` (or changing the global configuration file yourself). This is the same
