Snowplow has 12 trackers, covering web, mobile, desktop, server, and IoT. -- **Collectors** receive Snowplow events from trackers. We have three different event collectors, synchronizing events either to Amazon S3, Apache Kafka, or Amazon Kinesis. -- **Enrich** cleans up the raw Snowplow events, enriches them and puts them into storage. We have an Hadoop-based enrichment process, and a Kinesis-based or Kafka-based process. -- **Storage** is where the Snowplow events live. We store the Snowplow events in a flat file structure on S3, and in the Redshift and PostgreSQL databases. -- **Data modeling** is where event-level data is joined with other data sets and aggregated into smaller data sets, and business logic is applied. This produces a clean set of tables which make it easier to perform analysis on the data. We have data models for Redshift and Looker. -- **Analytics** are performed on the Snowplow events or on the aggregate tables. - - - -## Snowplow schema - -We have many definitions of Snowplow's schema. We have an active issue to [standardize this schema](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/207930) including the following definitions: - -- Frontend and backend taxonomy as listed below -- [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy) -- [Self describing events](https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/Custom-events#self-describing-events) -- [Iglu schema](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/iglu/) -- [Snowplow authored events](https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/Snowplow-authored-events) - -## Enabling Snowplow - -Tracking can be enabled at: - -- The instance level, which enables tracking on both the frontend and backend layers. -- User level, though user tracking can be disabled on a per-user basis. GitLab tracking respects the [Do Not Track](https://www.eff.org/issues/do-not-track) standard, so any user who has enabled the Do Not Track option in their browser is not tracked at a user level. - -We use Snowplow for the majority of our tracking strategy and it is enabled on GitLab.com. On a self-managed instance, Snowplow can be enabled by navigating to: - -- **Admin Area > Settings > General** in the UI. -- `admin/application_settings/integrations` in your browser. - -The following configuration is required: - -| Name | Value | -|---------------|---------------------------| -| Collector | `snowplow.trx.gitlab.net` | -| Site ID | `gitlab` | -| Cookie domain | `.gitlab.com` | - -## Snowplow request flow - -The following example shows a basic request/response flow between the following components: - -- Snowplow JS / Ruby Trackers on GitLab.com -- [GitLab.com Snowplow Collector](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/readiness/-/blob/master/library/snowplow/index.md) -- The GitLab S3 Bucket -- The GitLab Snowflake Data Warehouse -- Sisense: - -```mermaid -sequenceDiagram - participant Snowplow JS (Frontend) - participant Snowplow Ruby (Backend) - participant GitLab.com Snowplow Collector - participant S3 Bucket - participant Snowflake DW - participant Sisense Dashboards - Snowplow JS (Frontend) ->> GitLab.com Snowplow Collector: FE Tracking event - Snowplow Ruby (Backend) ->> GitLab.com Snowplow Collector: BE Tracking event - loop Process using Kinesis Stream - GitLab.com Snowplow Collector ->> GitLab.com Snowplow Collector: Log raw events - GitLab.com Snowplow Collector ->> GitLab.com Snowplow Collector: Enrich events - GitLab.com Snowplow Collector ->> GitLab.com Snowplow Collector: Write to disk - end - GitLab.com Snowplow Collector ->> S3 Bucket: Kinesis Firehose - S3 Bucket->>Snowflake DW: Import data - Snowflake DW->>Snowflake DW: Transform data using dbt - Snowflake DW->>Sisense Dashboards: Data available for querying -``` - -## Structured event taxonomy - -When adding new click events, we should add them in a way that's internally consistent. If we don't, it is very painful to perform analysis across features since each feature captures events differently. - -The current method provides several attributes that are sent on each click event. Please try to follow these guidelines when specifying events to capture: - -| attribute | type | required | description | -| --------- | ------- | -------- | ----------- | -| category | text | true | The page or backend area of the application. Unless infeasible, please use the Rails page attribute by default in the frontend, and namespace + class name on the backend. | -| action | text | true | The action the user is taking, or aspect that's being instrumented. The first word should always describe the action or aspect: clicks should be `click`, activations should be `activate`, creations should be `create`, etc. Use underscores to describe what was acted on; for example, activating a form field would be `activate_form_input`. An interface action like clicking on a dropdown would be `click_dropdown`, while a behavior like creating a project record from the backend would be `create_project` | -| label | text | false | The specific element, or object that's being acted on. This is either the label of the element (e.g. a tab labeled 'Create from template' may be `create_from_template`) or a unique identifier if no text is available (e.g. closing the Groups dropdown in the top navigation bar might be `groups_dropdown_close`), or it could be the name or title attribute of a record being created. | -| property | text | false | Any additional property of the element, or object being acted on. | -| value | decimal | false | Describes a numeric value or something directly related to the event. This could be the value of an input (e.g. `10` when clicking `internal` visibility). | - -### Web-specific parameters - -Snowplow JS adds many [web-specific parameters](https://docs.snowplowanalytics.com/docs/collecting-data/collecting-from-own-applications/snowplow-tracker-protocol/#Web-specific_parameters) to all web events by default. - -## Implementing Snowplow JS (Frontend) tracking - -GitLab provides `Tracking`, an interface that wraps the [Snowplow JavaScript Tracker](https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/javascript-tracker) for tracking custom events. There are a few ways to use tracking, but each generally requires at minimum, a `category` and an `action`. Additional data can be provided that adheres to our [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). - -| field | type | default value | description | -|:-----------|:-------|:---------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -| `category` | string | `document.body.dataset.page` | Page or subsection of a page that events are being captured within. | -| `action` | string | 'generic' | Action the user is taking. Clicks should be `click` and activations should be `activate`, so for example, focusing a form field would be `activate_form_input`, and clicking a button would be `click_button`. | -| `data` | object | `{}` | Additional data such as `label`, `property`, `value`, and `context` as described in our [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). | - -### Tracking in HAML (or Vue Templates) - -When working within HAML (or Vue templates) we can add `data-track-*` attributes to elements of interest. All elements that have a `data-track-event` attribute automatically have event tracking bound on clicks. - -Below is an example of `data-track-*` attributes assigned to a button: - -```haml -%button.btn{ data: { track: { event: "click_button", label: "template_preview", property: "my-template" } } } -``` - -```html -<button class="btn" - data-track-event="click_button" - data-track-label="template_preview" - data-track-property="my-template" -/> -``` - -Event listeners are bound at the document level to handle click events on or within elements with these data attributes. This allows them to be properly handled on re-rendering and changes to the DOM. Note that because of the way these events are bound, click events should not be stopped from propagating up the DOM tree. If for any reason click events are being stopped from propagating, you need to implement your own listeners and follow the instructions in [Tracking in raw JavaScript](#tracking-in-raw-javascript). - -Below is a list of supported `data-track-*` attributes: - -| attribute | required | description | -|:----------------------|:---------|:------------| -| `data-track-event` | true | Action the user is taking. Clicks must be prepended with `click` and activations must be prepended with `activate`. For example, focusing a form field would be `activate_form_input` and clicking a button would be `click_button`. | -| `data-track-label` | false | The `label` as described in our [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). | -| `data-track-property` | false | The `property` as described in our [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). | -| `data-track-value` | false | The `value` as described in our [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). If omitted, this is the element's `value` property or an empty string. For checkboxes, the default value is the element's checked attribute or `false` when unchecked. | -| `data-track-context` | false | The `context` as described in our [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). | - -#### Caveats - -When using the GitLab helper method [`nav_link`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/898b286de322e5df6a38d257b10c94974d580df8/app/helpers/tab_helper.rb#L69) be sure to wrap `html_options` under the `html_options` keyword argument. -Be careful, as this behavior can be confused with the `ActionView` helper method [`link_to`](https://api.rubyonrails.org/v5.2.3/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#method-i-link_to) that does not require additional wrapping of `html_options` - -`nav_link(controller: ['dashboard/groups', 'explore/groups'], html_options: { data: { track_label: "groups_dropdown", track_event: "click_dropdown" } })` - -vs - -`link_to assigned_issues_dashboard_path, title: _('Issues'), data: { track_label: 'main_navigation', track_event: 'click_issues_link' }` - -### Tracking within Vue components - -There's a tracking Vue mixin that can be used in components if more complex tracking is required. To use it, first import the `Tracking` library and request a mixin. - -```javascript -import Tracking from '~/tracking'; -const trackingMixin = Tracking.mixin({ label: 'right_sidebar' }); -``` - -You can provide default options that are passed along whenever an event is tracked from within your component. For instance, if all events within a component should be tracked with a given `label`, you can provide one at this time. Available defaults are `category`, `label`, `property`, and `value`. If no category is specified, `document.body.dataset.page` is used as the default. - -You can then use the mixin normally in your component with the `mixin` Vue declaration. The mixin also provides the ability to specify tracking options in `data` or `computed`. These override any defaults and allow the values to be dynamic from props, or based on state. - -```javascript -export default { - mixins: [trackingMixin], - // ...[component implementation]... - data() { - return { - expanded: false, - tracking: { - label: 'left_sidebar' - } - }; - }, -} -``` - -The mixin provides a `track` method that can be called within the template, or from component methods. An example of the whole implementation might look like the following. - -```javascript -export default { - mixins: [Tracking.mixin({ label: 'right_sidebar' })], - data() { - return { - expanded: false, - }; - }, - methods: { - toggle() { - this.expanded = !this.expanded; - this.track('click_toggle', { value: this.expanded }) - } - } -}; -``` - -And if needed within the template, you can use the `track` method directly as well. - -```html -<template> - <div> - <a class="toggle" @click.prevent="toggle">Toggle</a> - <div v-if="expanded"> - <p>Hello world!</p> - <a @click.prevent="track('click_action')">Track an event</a> - </div> - </div> -</template> -``` - -### Tracking in raw JavaScript - -Custom event tracking and instrumentation can be added by directly calling the `Tracking.event` static function. The following example demonstrates tracking a click on a button by calling `Tracking.event` manually. - -```javascript -import Tracking from '~/tracking'; - -const button = document.getElementById('create_from_template_button'); -button.addEventListener('click', () => { - Tracking.event('dashboard:projects:index', 'click_button', { - label: 'create_from_template', - property: 'template_preview', - value: 'rails', - }); -}) -``` - -### Tests and test helpers - -In Jest particularly in Vue tests, you can use the following: - -```javascript -import { mockTracking } from 'helpers/tracking_helper'; - -describe('MyTracking', () => { - let spy; - - beforeEach(() => { - spy = mockTracking('_category_', wrapper.element, jest.spyOn); - }); - - it('tracks an event when clicked on feedback', () => { - wrapper.find('.discover-feedback-icon').trigger('click'); - - expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalledWith('_category_', 'click_button', { - label: 'security-discover-feedback-cta', - property: '0', - }); - }); -}); -``` - -In obsolete Karma tests it's used as below: - -```javascript -import { mockTracking, triggerEvent } from 'spec/helpers/tracking_helper'; - -describe('my component', () => { - let trackingSpy; - - beforeEach(() => { - trackingSpy = mockTracking('_category_', vm.$el, spyOn); - }); - - const triggerEvent = () => { - // action which should trigger a event - }; - - it('tracks an event when toggled', () => { - expect(trackingSpy).not.toHaveBeenCalled(); - - triggerEvent('a.toggle'); - - expect(trackingSpy).toHaveBeenCalledWith('_category_', 'click_edit_button', { - label: 'right_sidebar', - property: 'confidentiality', - }); - }); -}); -``` - -## Implementing Snowplow Ruby (Backend) tracking - -GitLab provides `Gitlab::Tracking`, an interface that wraps the [Snowplow Ruby Tracker](https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/ruby-tracker) for tracking custom events. - -Custom event tracking and instrumentation can be added by directly calling the `GitLab::Tracking.event` class method, which accepts the following arguments: - -| argument | type | default value | description | -|------------|---------------------------|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -| `category` | String | | Area or aspect of the application. This could be `HealthCheckController` or `Lfs::FileTransformer` for instance. | -| `action` | String | | The action being taken, which can be anything from a controller action like `create` to something like an Active Record callback. | -| `label` | String | nil | As described in [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). | -| `property` | String | nil | As described in [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). | -| `value` | Numeric | nil | As described in [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). | -| `context` | Array\[SelfDescribingJSON\] | nil | An array of custom contexts to send with this event. Most events should not have any custom contexts. | -| `project` | Project | nil | The project associated with the event. | -| `user` | User | nil | The user associated with the event. | -| `namespace` | Namespace | nil | The namespace associated with the event. | - -Tracking can be viewed as either tracking user behavior, or can be used for instrumentation to monitor and visualize performance over time in an area or aspect of code. - -For example: - -```ruby -class Projects::CreateService < BaseService - def execute - project = Project.create(params) - - Gitlab::Tracking.event('Projects::CreateService', 'create_project', label: project.errors.full_messages.to_sentence, - property: project.valid?.to_s, project: project, user: current_user, namespace: namespace) - end -end -``` - -### Unit testing - -Use the `expect_snowplow_event` helper when testing backend Snowplow events. See [testing best practices]( -https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/testing_guide/best_practices.html#test-snowplow-events) for details. - -### Performance - -We use the [AsyncEmitter](https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/Ruby-Tracker#52-the-asyncemitter-class) when tracking events, which allows for instrumentation calls to be run in a background thread. This is still an active area of development. - -## Developing and testing Snowplow - -There are several tools for developing and testing Snowplow Event - -| Testing Tool | Frontend Tracking | Backend Tracking | Local Development Environment | Production Environment | Production Environment | -|----------------------------------------------|--------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| -| Snowplow Analytics Debugger Chrome Extension | **{check-circle}** | **{dotted-circle}** | **{check-circle}** | **{check-circle}** | **{check-circle}** | -| Snowplow Inspector Chrome Extension | **{check-circle}** | **{dotted-circle}** | **{check-circle}** | **{check-circle}** | **{check-circle}** | -| Snowplow Micro | **{check-circle}** | **{check-circle}** | **{check-circle}** | **{dotted-circle}** | **{dotted-circle}** | -| Snowplow Mini | **{check-circle}** | **{check-circle}** | **{dotted-circle}** | **{status_preparing}** | **{status_preparing}** | - -**Legend** - -**{check-circle}** Available, **{status_preparing}** In progress, **{dotted-circle}** Not Planned - -### Preparing your MR for Review - -1.
