MobileFirst 7.1 and Collecting Analytics for Network Connections to other servers

Question

I try to collect analytics information for network connections outside MFP Server.

MFP 7.1.0.00.20151005-1721

For this test case, i use the following sample: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-1/foundation/server-side-development-category/invoking-adapter-procedures-hybrid-client-applications/

and replace in the source code :

var resourceRequest = new WLResourceRequest("/adapters/RSSReader/getFeedFiltered", WLResourceRequest.GET); resourceRequest.setQueryParameter("params", "['MobileFirst_Platform']"); resourceRequest.send().then( loadFeedsSuccess, loadFeedsFailure, ...

by

var resourceRequest = new WLResourceRequest("http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml", WLResourceRequest.GET); resourceRequest.send().then( loadFeedsSuccess, loadFeedsFailure, ...

And add in the loadFeedsSucess function a line with WL.Analytics.send()

The request works fine but no data available in MobileFirst Analytic Console for Network (Session and device are OK)

How to show other request metrics in Network view ?

Thanks

Fred.

Answer 1

The metrics under the network tab are going to be populated when you use adapters. These metrics on network request are not populated when using third party servers.

If you create an adapter to hit the engadget rss feed then you will start to collect metrics from your adapter.
