Yandex.Metrica – traffic analysis¶
Yandex.Metrica is an analytics tool like as google analytics.
Installation¶
To start using the Yandex.Metrica integration, you must have installed the
django-analytical package and have added the analytical
application
to INSTALLED_APPS
in your project settings.py
file.
See Installation and configuration for details.
Next you need to add the Yandex.Metrica template tag to your templates. This
step is only needed if you are not using the generic
analytical.*
tags. If you are, skip to
Configuration.
The Yandex.Metrica counter code is inserted into templates using a template
tag. Load the yandex_metrica
template tag library and insert the
yandex_metrica
tag. Because every page that you want to track must
have the tag, it is useful to add it to your base template. Insert
the tag at the bottom of the HTML head:
{% load yandex_metrica %}
<html>
<head>
...
{% yandex_metrica %}
</head>
...
Configuration¶
Before you can use the Yandex.Metrica integration, you must first set your website counter ID.
Setting the counter ID¶
Every website you track with Yandex.Metrica gets its own counter ID,
and the yandex_metrica
tag will include it in the rendered
Javascript code. You can find the web counter ID on the overview page
of your account. Set YANDEX_METRICA_COUNTER_ID
in the
project settings.py
file:
YANDEX_METRICA_COUNTER_ID = '12345678'
If you do not set a counter ID, the counter code will not be rendered.
You can set additional options to tune your counter:
Constant | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|
YANDEX_METRICA_WEBVISOR |
False | Webvisor, scroll map, form analysis. |
YANDEX_METRICA_TRACKHASH |
False | Hash tracking in the browser address bar. |
YANDEX_METRICA_NOINDEX |
False | Stop automatic page indexing. |
YANDEX_METRICA_ECOMMERCE |
False | Dispatch ecommerce data to Metrica. |
Internal IP addresses¶
Usually you do not want to track clicks from your development or
internal IP addresses. By default, if the tags detect that the client
comes from any address in the YANDEX_METRICA_INTERNAL_IPS
setting,
the tracking code is commented out. It takes the value of
ANALYTICAL_INTERNAL_IPS
by default (which in turn is
INTERNAL_IPS
by default). See Identifying authenticated users for
important information about detecting the visitor IP address.
