edx-analytics-logger 1.2.1

Usage with Tutor

This plugin has been tested with OpenEdX Lilac running under Tutor. For more information about how to add custom requirements to a OpenEdX running under Tutor see: XBlock and edx-platform plugin development

Once the package is added, you can add the ApiBackend to your CMS/LMS settings. To do this, you should override the default TRACKING_BACKENDS and EVENT_TRACKING_BACKENDS from cms/envs/common.py and lms/evns/common.py settings files.

TRACKING_BACKENDS['api'] = {
    'ENGINE': 'edx_analytics_logger.api.ApiBackend',
    'OPTIONS': {
     'http_method': 'POST'
     'endpoint': '<FILL_WITH_AN_URI>',
     'headers': {
         'Content-type': 'application/json',
         'Authorization': 'Token <FILL_WITH_A_TOKEN>',
         # ...
         }
     }
}

EVENT_TRACKING_BACKENDS['tracking_logs']['OPTIONS']['backends']['api'] = {
    'ENGINE': 'edx_analytics_logger.api.ApiBackend',
    'OPTIONS': {
     'http_method': 'POST'
     'endpoint': '<FILL_WITH_AN_URI>',
     'headers': {
         'Content-type': 'application/json',
         'Authorization': 'Token <FILL_WITH_A_TOKEN>',
         # ...
         }
     }
}

This could be accomplished by writing a custom plugin to add these settings in CMS/LMS settings.

Additional notes

This project has been tested using Django REST Framework service as backend. OpenEdX Analytics Logger could be hugely improved to support more settings, authentication mechanisms and more options. Feel free to contribute by reporting bugs, suggesting improvements or opening Pull Requests.
