Matomo feed or Dynamic RSS feed

UPDATE!! Found a work around to this, as ARIS is very pedantic, trying to use the general normal methods to get this informatoin does not work, however you can leveridge the Java libraries in your ARIS instance to get the feeds you require, in our case is now JSON. 

We are planning on posting a how to very soon with all the code we have created for you to try.  Just wished that AWARE could handle the amount of data we get from Matomo....  Alas we now are using PowerBI for our dashboards.

Hi Simon,

May you please explain what you mean mit Aware does not handle the amount of data we are getting from Matomo. I am curious.

Per default we are using 2 ARIS REports Matomo - Global Usage, and Matomo Database specific , to serialize and persist data from Matomo to the ARIS document storage . We are using that for our ARIS Dashboards (datafeeds). So I am really curious to learn where you reach the performance problems?

And second you are right the GUID is currently not there (...) the API Call from Matomo which is used to fetch the data returns the GUID within - so the logical way would be to adapt the REport that the GUID is also available and can be used to make the dashboard "actionable". 

Really looking forward for your insights/thoughts

Thanks in advance

Hi Monkia, 

We have found that for some reason the amount of Data we get from Matomo is too much for what was aware and now dashboards.

When trying to run the Matomo data using ARIS, this would only show the last 3 - 4 weeks and we couldn't get it to display any more than that, we tried to break down the data, tried an XML feed and we were unable to get anything else than the last 3 - 4 weeks only.

The way we have resolved this was capture the reports from Matomo and then some bespoke reports we created in ARIS to capture user information, databases and page names etc etc, we then used PowerBI to align this information and are able to see the full scope of our data and analytics rather than a small window.

Hope this helps

Simon

Hi Simon,

Many thanks for your feedback .

My last question would be -

When trying to run the Matomo data using ARIS, this would only show the last 3 - 4 weeks and we couldn't get it to display any more than that, we tried to break down the data, tried an XML feed and we were unable to get anything else than the last 3 - 4 weeks.

Was this a data fetching problem?

Matomo -> ARIS Matomo REport -> ARIS Document Storage -> ARIS dashboards

1.) Did the data transfer via the ARIS Matomo reports fail?

2.) Did the XML files within ARIS Document Storage only showed the last 3 weeks

3.) Did the dashboard only showed the last 3 weeks?

4.) Was it a perfomance isse -that after 3 weeks the dashboards where not performant ?

I really appreciate your feedback.

Best

Monika
