I'm researching how to implement Google Analytics for visualforce pages inside of Salesfoce that are not publically available. I know you can implement Google Analytics on Salesforce site pages, but those are publically exposed pages. The pages I'm trying to implement Google Analytics are internal to Salesforce, but also behind a proxy.

I'm wondering if this is even possible? Sending data out using the Google Analytics API might not be a problem, but it seems like it would become a issue if the API has to communicate back in and go thru the proxy. I'm not very familiar with proxy servers/security and how the API would need to interact via the proxy and how the network data flow would work.

Does anyone have any insight on feasibility of implementing Google Analytics on internal Salesforce visualfroce pages thru a proxy server?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Internal pages aren't a problem at all.

All you do to track user interaction is send data to Google Analytics. Google Analytics does not need to send anything back, so it doesn't matter if the pages are internal or not.

In fact, the pages don't even have to exist. If you send a pageview to Google Analytics with a spelling mistake, Google will happily accept it.
