+dojox.analytics
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 1.0
+Release date: 12/17/2007
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Project state: beta
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Project authors
+ Dustin Machi
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Project description
+ analytics and client monitoring system. Including the base analytics
+system and any number of plugins enables logging of different system data
+back to the server. Plugins included at this time:
+
+ dojo - reports dojo startup collected information
+ window - reports available window information to the server
+ mouseOver - allows periodic sampling of mouseOver
+ mouseClick - reports any mouse clicks to the server
+ idle - reports idle/activity
+ consoleMessages - reports console.* messages to the server
+
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Dependencies:
+
+Dojo Core (package loader).
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Documentation
+
+Usage:
+
+The primary intended usage will be to create a custom build layer that includes
+the particular plugins you need for your project. However in practice you
+can use the system as such:
+
+ <script type="text/javascript" src="../../../dojo/dojo.js"
+ djConfig="parseOnLoad: true, isDebug: false, usePlainJson: true, sendMethod: 'script', sendInterval: 5000"></script>
+
+ <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
+ // include the analytics system
+ dojo.require("dojox.analytics");
+
+ //tracks mouse clicks on the page
+ dojo.require("dojox.analytics.plugins.mouseClick");
+
+ // this plugin returns the informatin dojo collects when it launches
+ dojo.require("dojox.analytics.plugins.dojo");
+
+ // this plugin return the information the window has when it launches
+ // and it also ties to a few events such as window.option
+ dojo.require("dojox.analytics.plugins.window");
+
+ // this plugin tracks console. message, It logs console.error, warn, and
+ // info messages to the tracker. It also defines console.rlog() which
+ // can be used to log only to the server. Note that if isDebug() is disabled
+ // you will still see the console messages on the sever, but not in the actual
+ // browser console.
+ dojo.require("dojox.analytics.plugins.consoleMessages");
+
+ // tracks where a mouse is on a page an what it is over, periodically sampling
+ // and storing this data
+ dojo.require("dojox.analytics.plugins.mouseOver");
+
+ //tracks when the user has gone idle
+ dojo.require("dojox.analytics.plugins.idle");
+
+ </script>
+
+When done using a build, none of the dojo.require() statement will be requires
+would already be in the build.
+
+Most of the plugins and the base itself have a number of configurable params
+that are passed in via the djConfig variable set. This approach is taken so that
+the parameters can be easily provided in the case of a build or for a custom
+dojo.js build with analytics built in. Examples for different build profiles
+are in the profiles directory.
+
+Available Configuration Parameters:
+
+ Base Configs
+ sendInterval - Normal send interval. Default 5000
+ sendMethod - "script" || "xhrPost"
+ inTransitRetry - Delay before retrying an a send if it was in transit
+ or if there is still data to be sent after a post.
+ Default 1000
+ analyticsUrl - url to send logging data to. defaults to the test php
+ file for now
+ maxRequestSize - Maximum size of GET style requests. Capped at 2000 for
+ IE, and 4000 otherwise
+
+ consoleMessages Config:
+
+ consoleLogFuncs - functions from the console object that you will log to
+ the server. If the console object doesn't exist
+ or a particuarl method doesn't exist it will be
+ created as a remote logging only method. This provides
+ a quick and convient way to automatically define
+ a remote logging funciton that includes the functions
+ name in the log. The 'rlog' in the default paramerters
+ is an example of this. Defaults to ["error", "warn", "info", "rlog"]
+
+ idle Config:
+
+ idleTime - Number of ms to be idle before being reported to the server as idle
+
+ mouseOver config:
+ targetProps - the properties whose values will be reported for each target from
+ a mouse over sample. defaults to ["id","className","localName","href", "spellcheck", "lang", "textContent", "value" ]
+
+ sampleDelay - the delay in ms between mouseover samples. Defaults to 2500
+
+ window config:
+ windowConnects - methods on the window objec that will be attached to
+ have its data passed to the server when called.
+
+
+Note that the basic usage of this system simply serializes json with toJson() when passed
+to the analytics addData() method. If data is passed that has circular references
+it will die. Take care not to do that or be surprised when it doens't work
+in those cases.
