Analytics in Insight

[jamestastic]

What is the feasibility of adding usage analysis functionality (similar to Google Analytics) to Insight? It could be useful to analyze application performance in the context of how users tend to use an application.

Analytics is something we are thinking about, although it is a bit outside of our current scope. Current analytics engines are really good at tracking users through a web application; however, there are areas of weakness. Tracking Spring Web Flow usage for example could be particularly compelling.

I agree. Another compelling argument for this has to do with the recent effort to make Insight available in production. I'm no marketing expert, but I suspect businesses could find some real value in the ability to correlate usage and marketing data with performance data of their applications.
