Instance Method Details

#send_analytics(event_name, metrics = {}, **opts) ⇒ Object

Send analytics data. Parse Server's default analyticsAdapter is a no-op: events POSTed here are accepted but not persisted and cannot be read back through Parse Server. Operators who wire in a custom adapter decide what (if anything) to do with each event, including whether to cap dimension count — the legacy parse.com eight-pair cap does NOT apply to Parse Server out of the box. If you need to read events back, persist them to a regular Parse::Object subclass instead.

Parameters:

  • event_name (String) —

    the name of the event. Restricted to word characters, hyphens, and dots so the value cannot escape the /events/ path segment.

  • metrics (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    dimension pairs to attach to the event.

  • opts (Hash) —

    additional options forwarded to Client#request (e.g. :session_token, :use_master_key). Analytics events are typically public-writable, but a session token can be threaded through for installations that require authentication on /events.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    when event_name is empty or contains characters outside [\w\-\.].
