Does Edge Microgateway support Custom Analytics Policies?

Can Edge Micro participate in publishing customer analytics? Like via Apigee’s ‘Extract Variables’ policy and ‘Statistics Collector’ policy to write businesses’ custom analytics data to the core, shared Apigee Analytics Service...

Hi Evan, I don't think Micro does custom analytics today - would be a nice addition, probably as a plugin to specify custom variables -- @Prabhat Jha

Plug-in, like a technique accessible to the average mortal API-developer deploying Edge Microgateway, or is this a hypothetical, perhaps a ways down the road and presently out of reach?

ah yes and no,

Today you could write custom plugins for edge micro - http://docs.apigee.com/microgateway/content/develop-plugins, so as a technique it exists for API-developers.

But a plugin that allows you to write custom analytics is not yet available, so Micro need to provide a nodejs api that the plugin can use to set custom variables - unfortunately, this is presently out of reach, will let @Prabhat Jha comment on this

It will be relatively easy to provide a hook to analytics plugin so that Microgateway admins/developers can "inject" custom attributes to Analytics payload that get sent to Edge but it requires that on Edge, org is setup to receive those custom attributes for a given proxy.

While it's doable, it's not straightforward right now. Plan is to provide an API on Edge Management Server sot hat custom attributes be easily added which will make things on Microatway side lot easier.

Hello, Has there been any updates on this since 2016? Does this feauture exist to send custom analytics from micro gateway?

Hi @prabhat, we have the same requirement. Is that on the Apigee roadmap to send custom analytics from microgateway?
