I am interested in this solution. How do I run it? Is it possible to create for the individual - access points, streams? ---

Hello, I bought it. 100$.Even works. However, I recommend that: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-send-connection-and-stream-statistics-to-google-analytics-analytics](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-send-connection-and-stream-statistics-to-google-analytics-analytics) … is free. It works even better. Best Regards… ---

Thank you for your interest. I’ll soon post a new article to help installation process of the free edition. Let me try to give you some tips here. In order to track the events, Wowza Module sends following information to Google Analytics. - Event:Category : Video - Event:Action : Play, Stop, Seek, Pause, Publish, UnPublish - Event:Label : StreamPath - Event:Value : Played(Published) times(on Stop / UnPublish) IP address, user agents, and more infomation are sent together. You can specify particular access points or streams with Google Analytics filters. Example: Google Analytics \> Admin \> View \> Filter \> New Filter -. Include -. IP Address -. Filter Pattern : Insert range of IP addresses Regards, Jinmo Kang ---
