• Anomalie #4224 (Fermé) : Datepicker et mediabox d’edition de documents

  15 novembre 2018, par George Kandalaft

  Le datepicker n’affiche pas le calendrier en avant plan dans la mediabox de modification des documents. Ca vient du z-index dans /prive/themes/spip/forms.css :
  #ui-datepicker-div z-index : 1001 !important ;

  Il faut au moins un z-index de 10000 pour que le calendrier apparaisse.

• Incapsulate onvif metadata into avframe

  30 mai 2019, par user8957959

  I have a onvif camera that provides video and metadata via rtsp. I would
  like to create a filter or whatever else that takes the metadata, reads
  them and finally merge into the output video.

  I think something like
  incapsulate them in the alpha channel, in order to keep the video
  viable. I have problem with the first part, because I cannot find a
  filter that manipulate Data (AVMEDIA_TYPE_DATA) to start with. My plan
  is to create a filter that takes data and produce fake avframe with
  metadata, that will be merged with the real video by a filter like
  overlay or everything else. Did someone have some hints for me ?

• Exceeded GA’s 10M hits data limit, now what ?

  21 juin 2019, par Joselyn Khor
  Exceeded GA’s 10M hits data limit, now what ? Matomo has the answers

  “Your data volume (1XXM hits) exceeds the limit of 10M hits per month as outlined in our Terms of Service. If you continue to exceed the limit, we will stop processing new data on XXX 21, 2019. Learn more about possible solutions.”

  Yikes. Alarm bells were ringing when a Google Analytics free user came to us faced with this notice. Let’s call him ‘Mark’. Mark had reached the limits on the data he could collect through Google Analytics and was shocked by the limited options available to fix the problem, without blowing the budget. The thoughts racing through his head were :

  • “What happens to all my data ?”
  • “What if Google starts charging USD150K now ?”

  Then he came across Matomo and decided to get in touch with our support team …

  “Can you fix this issue ?” he asked us.

  “Absolutely !” we said.

  We’ll get back to helping Mark in a minute. For now let’s go over why this was such a dilemma for him.

  In order to resolve this data limits issue, one of the solutions was for him to upgrade to Google Analytics 360, which meant shelling out USD150,000 per year for their 1 billion hits per month option. Going from free to USD150,000 was too much of a stretch for a growing company.

  “Your data volume (1XXM hits) exceeds the limit of 10M hits per month …”, what did this message mean ?

  With the free version, Mark could collect up to 10 million “hits” per month, per account. Going over meant Google Analytics could stop collecting any more data for free as outlined in their Terms.

  Google Analytics’ Terms of Service (2018, sec. 2) states, “Subject to Section 15, the Service is provided without charge to You for up to 10 million Hits per month per account.”[1]

  In general, what’s a "hit" ?

  Data being sent to Google Analytics. It can be a transaction, event, social interaction or pageview - these all produce what Google calls a “hit”.

  

  And their Analytics Help Data Limits (n.d.) support page makes clear that : “If a property sends more hits per month to Analytics than allowed by the Analytics Terms of Service, there is no assurance that the excess hits will be processed. If the property’s hit volume exceeds this limit, a warning may be displayed in the user interface and you may be prevented from accessing reports.”[2]

  

  Possible solutions

  So the possible solutions given by Google Analytics’ Data Limits support page were (also shown in image below) :

  • To pay USD150K to upgrade to Google Analytics 360
  • To send fewer hits by setting up sampling
  • Or choose the slightly less relevant option to upgrade mobile app tracking to Google Analytics for Firebase.

  Without the means to pay, the free version was fast becoming inaccessible for Mark as he was facing a future where he risked no longer having access to up-to-date data used in his business’ reporting.

  Mark was facing a problem that potentially didn’t have a cost-effective solution.

  

  So what can you really do about it ?

  This is where we can help provide some assistance. If you’re reading this article, we’ll assume you can relate to Mark and share with you the advice on options we gave him.

  Options :

  One option posed by Google is for you to send fewer hits by auditing your data collection processes

  If you really don’t have the budget, you’ll need to reassess your data collection priorities and go over your strategies to see what is necessary to track, and what isn’t.

  • Make sure you know what you’re tracking and why. Look at what websites are being tracked by Google and into what properties.
  • Go through what data you’re tracking and decide what is or isn’t of value.
  • Set up data sampling, this however, will lead to inaccurate data.

  From here you can start to course correct. If you’ve found data you’re not using for analysis, get rid of these events/pageviews in your Google Analytics.

  But the limitations here are that eventually, you’re going to run out of irrelevant metrics and everything you’re tracking will be essential. So you’ll hit another brick wall and return to the same situation.

  Option 2 – Ignore and continue using the free version of Google Analytics

  With this option, you’ll have to bear the business risks involved by basing decisions off of analytics reports that may or may not be updated. In this case, you may still get contacted about exceeding the limits. As the free service is provided for only up to 10 million hits, once you’ve gone over them, you’re violating what’s stipulated in the Terms of Service. 

  There’s also the warning that “… you may be prevented from accessing reports” (Data limits, n.d.). So while we may not know for certain what Google Analytics will do, in this case it may be better to be safe rather than sorry by acting quickly to resolve it. 

  Option 3 –The Matomo solution. Upgrade to a web analytics platform that can handle your demanding data requirements

  Where do you go from here ?
