Measurement Protocol doesn't work for my property

[Oleg Kolomiets]

Hi!

I've already read all the same topics, but haven't catch any mistake for neither my property nor client requests. Need help.

I'm using node.js package (https://github.com/peaksandpies/universal-analytics) to send data to Google Analytics on my backend side. All settings seem to be correct.

Here is debug log:

[universal-analytics] Enqueued pageview ({"dp":"/login","v":"1","tid":"UA-57623440-1","cid":"0d1a2640-92cc-4421-a382-8f8d4d0a846a","t":"pageview"})

[universal-analytics] Sending 1 tracking call(s)

[universal-analytics] Finished sending tracking calls

And here are requests that have been sent:

http://www.google-analytics.com/collect?dp=%2Flogin&v=1&tid=UA-57623440-1&cid=0d1a2640-92cc-4421-a382-8f8d4d0a846a&t=pageview

As a result I don't have any hits on Real-Time reporting. And no any statistics on Audience Overview.

I will appreciate any suggestions and thoughts.

Oleg,

the reason your second example (event insert) doesn't work is because you're specifying full text as the Event Value (&ev=) when event value must be an integer value.  via https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/parameters#ev Google tells us:

ev/Event Value 

Value Type: integer

Specifies the event value. Values must be non-negative.

also FYI, i substituted your &tid= for my test site, and your first example (pageview insert) worked just fine -- i saw the hit come right up in my realtime view.  regarding your second example, as soon as i removed the &ev= (or changed its value to an integer) i also saw the hit come up right away in my realtime view. 

hope this helps!

Thanks Rick!

Events work under your amendment for ev/Event Value. Indeed it's my mistake, didn't notice that.

Also pageview works fine as expected. Don't exactly know what happened before.
