• Introducing the BigQuery & Data Warehouse Export feature

  30 janvier, par Matomo Core Team

  Matomo is built on a simple truth : your data belongs to you, and you should have complete control over it. That’s why we’re excited to launch our new BigQuery & Data Warehouse Export feature for Matomo Cloud, giving you even more ways to work with your analytics data. 

  Until now, getting raw data from Matomo Cloud required APIs and custom scripts, or waiting for engineering help.  

  Our new BigQuery & Data Warehouse Export feature removes those barriers. You can now access your raw, unaggregated data and schedule regular exports straight to your data warehouse. 

  The feature works with all major data warehouses including (but not limited to) : 

  • Google BigQuery 
  • Amazon Redshift 
  • Snowflake 
  • Azure Synapse Analytics 
  • Apache Hive 
  • Teradata 

  You can schedule exports, combine your Matomo data with other data sources in your data warehouse, and easily query data with SQL-like queries. 

  Direct raw data access for greater data portability 

  Waiting for engineering support can delay your work. Managing API connections and writing scripts can be time-consuming. This keeps you from focusing on what you do best—analysing data. 

  

  With the BigQuery & Data Warehouse Export feature, you get direct access to your raw Matomo data without the technical setup. So, you can spend more time analysing data and finding insights that matter. 

  Bringing your data together 

  Answering business questions often requires data from multiple sources. A single customer interaction might span your CRM, web analytics, sales systems, and more. Piecing this data together manually is time-consuming—what starts as a seemingly simple question from stakeholders can turn into hours of work collecting and comparing data across different tools. 

  This feature lets you combine your Matomo data with data from other business systems in your data warehouse. Instead of switching between tools or manually comparing spreadsheets, you can analyse all your data in one place to better understand how customers interact with your business. 

  Easy, custom analysis with SQL-like queries 

  Standard, pre-built reports often don’t address the specific, detailed questions that analysts need to answer.  

  When you use the BigQuery & Data Warehouse Export feature, you can use SQL-like queries in your data warehouse to do detailed, customised analysis. This flexibility allows you to explore your data in depth and uncover specific insights that aren’t possible with pre-built reports. 

  

  Here is an example of how you might use SQL-like query to compare the behaviours of paying vs. non-paying users : 

  				
                                          <xmp>SELECT  
  
  
  
  custom_dimension_value AS user_type, -- Assuming 'user_type' is stored in a custom dimension 
  
  
  
  COUNT(*) AS total_visits,  
  
  
  
  AVG(visit_total_time) AS avg_duration, 
  
  
  
  SUM(conversion.revenue) AS total_spent  
  
  
  
  FROM  
  
  
  
  `your_project.your_dataset.matomo_log_visit` AS visit 
  
  
  
  LEFT JOIN  
  
  
  
  `your_project.your_dataset.matomo_log_conversion` AS conversion  
  
  
  
  ON  
  
  
  
  visit.idvisit = conversion.idvisit  
  
  
  
  GROUP BY  
  
  
  
  custom_dimension_value; </xmp>
  
                                  
  			

  This query helps you compare metrics such as the number of visits, average session duration, and total amount spent between paying and non-paying users. It provides a full view of behavioural differences between these groups. 

  Advanced data manipulation and visualisation 

  When you need to create detailed reports or dive deep into data analysis, working within the constraints of a fixed user interface (UI) can limit your ability to draw insights. 

  Exporting your Matomo data to a data warehouse like BigQuery provides greater flexibility for in-depth manipulation and advanced visualisations, enabling you to uncover deeper insights and tailor your reports more effectively. 

  Getting started 

  To set up data warehouse exports in your Matomo : 

  1. Go to System Admin (cog icon in the top right corner) 
  2. Select ‘Export’ from the left-hand menu 
  3. Choose ‘BigQuery & Data Warehouse’ 

  You’ll find detailed instructions in our data warehouse exports guide.  

  Please note, enabling this feature will cost an additional 10% of your current subscription. You can view the exact cost by following the steps above.

• Fill patterns

  9 juin 2010, par Mikko Koppanen — Imagick, PHP stuff

  My work life has been quite busy lately and I haven’t had a chance to sit down and blog. I have been touring around London and some parts of the northern England consulting and organizing some training here and there. Luckily I have had the chance to do some work on Imagick and the 2.2.0 beta release is getting closer. The internal structure was completely restructured and broken down into several smaller files. During this time Imagick was adapted to follow the PHP Coding Standards more closely. Still a work in progress

  I committed slightly modified version of this example to PHP Manual http://uk.php.net/manual/en/imagick.examples.php page a few days ago. The example illustrates using an image as a part of a named fill pattern. The fill pattern is used to annotate text but the named pattern could also be used to fill any shapes that allow fill to be specified (include circles, ellipses, rectangles, polygons etc etc). The code itself is pretty straight forward : Read the image, create the pattern and use the pattern as a fill.

  The ice formations image is from http://www.photoeverywhere.co.uk/west/winterholiday/slides/iceformations5679.htm.

  php

  1. < ?php
  2.  
  3. /* Create a new imagick object */
  4. $im = new Imagick( ’iceformations5679.JPG’ ) ;
  5.  
  6. /* Create imagickdraw object */
  7. $draw = new ImagickDraw() ;
  8.  
  9. /* Start a new pattern called "ice" */
  10. $draw->pushPattern( ’ice’ , 0 , 0 , 50 , 50 ) ;
  11.  
  12. /* Composite the image on the pattern */
  13. $draw->composite( Imagick: :COMPOSITE_OVER, 0, 0, 50, 50, $im ) ;
  14.  
  15. /* Close the pattern */
  16. $draw->popPattern() ;
  17.  
  18. /* Use the pattern called "ice" as the fill */
  19. $draw->setFillPatternURL( ’#ice’ ) ;
  20.  
  21. /* Set font size to 52 */
  22. $draw->setFontSize( 52 ) ;
  23.  
  24. /* Annotate some text */
  25. $draw->annotation( 5, 50, "Hello World !" ) ;
  26.  
  27. /* Create a new canvas and white image */
  28. $canvas = new Imagick() ;
  29. $canvas->newImage( 310, 70, "white" ) ;
  30.  
  31. /* Add black border around the resulting image */
  32. $canvas->borderImage( ’black’, 1, 1 ) ;
  33.  
  34. /* Draw the ImagickDraw on to the canvas */
  35. $canvas->drawImage( $draw ) ;
  36.  
  37. /* Set the format to PNG */
  38. $canvas->setImageFormat( ’png’ ) ;
  39.  
  40. /* Output the image */
  41. header( "Content-Type : image/png" ) ;
  42. echo $canvas ;
  43.  ?>

  And the result is here :

  

• Museum of Multimedia Software, Part 4

  20 août 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Software Museum

  This is the last part of the series, at least until some more multimedia software shows up at my favorite thrift shop or the other boneyards I scavenge.

  Miscellaneous Multimedia Programs
  This set includes the titles Matinee FMV Screensaver, MetaCreations Painter Classic, and Multimedia JumpStart. The second one is likely a creation program. I have no idea what the third one is, while the first title gives me chills just thinking about the implications.

  
  
  

  Miscellaneous Creativity Software
  Magic Theatre and Microsoft Home : Creative Writer. I think I loaded up the former once to find a very basic animation program. The latter isn’t necessarily multimedia-related but certainly classifies as creative software. It also reminds me of the ad I once spied in Entertainment Weekly magazine during the mid-1990s for a Microsoft music history CD-ROM. MS branched out into all kinds of niches.

  
  
  

  More Multimedia Creativity Software
  VideoCraft and U-Create Games & Animation. I wager these would be fun to play around with if I had the time.

  
  
  

  Showcase CD-ROMs
  "What Can You Make ? Showcase 7" from Macromedia and Microsoft Multimedia Pack 10.

  
  
  

  Basic Multimedia Software Discs
  As a multimedia nerd, these Apple QuickTime and Microsoft Video for Windows discs make me sentimental.

  
  
  

  Real Software Collection
  Grit your teeth and gaze upon CD-ROM distributions of Real’s software. There is a RealAudio disc back from when Real still called themselves Progressive Networks. "Everything you need to hear the web roar !"

  
  
  

  Clips
  And a few multimedia clip CD-ROMs, along with a disc that promises to test and tune your MPC setup.

  
  
  

  Wrap-Up
  I would be remiss if I neglected to mention a few more pieces of multimedia creation software in my collection. First, there’s the Barbie Storymaker. I actually gave that one a go, as you can tragically see from that link. Further, the Taco Bell fast food restaurant chain ran, as one of their many kids meal promotions, a series of 4 simple Comics Constructor CD-ROMs. I played briefly with it here and again during an exploration of XML data formats and the parsing thereof (which the software uses).
