Our Monitoring Implementation

Steps :

• Step 1 : Sign Up for Google Analytics from here. In this form , you need to fill up the details about website.
• Step 2 : Once you are done signing up, you'll get the Tracking ID. Along with the Tracking ID, you'll also get Global Site Tag (gtag.js) tracking code under PROPERTY. You need to put the code in the HEAD-tag of all the webpages you want to track. You can also add the code to some file and simply include that file on all the webpages.
• Step 3 : After adding the code to each and every webpage you want to track, you should be able to see data about your site in a couple of hours. You can see Real-time data such as number of active users, their locations, the device from which they are accessing the website etc. Moreover, you can also see the reports of user activity with respect to time for past week, month and year. You can also see most frequently visited webpages from pageviews.
