Awesome! At Fileboard we use lots of third party tools (Mixpanel/KISSMetrics) to keep track of user metrics and stuff but there are always things where these tools just can't provide us with answers. Especially since we are an ipad app and most of these things are designed for web app usage.

I didn't want to roll my own solution for keeping track of the "extra" stuff but having seen this I am definatly going to give it a spin and see wether it helps us get more grip on user behavior.

Thanks for sharing!

Hmm was just thinking. Could I also use this for tracking internal transactions? I am still looking for a good solution to get insight into the statistical/live transactions that my system is handling.

User behavior is great but since our solution spans multiple servers I would love to be able to see what happens say for ex. when somebody wants to send a e-mail message with dropbox attachment through our system.

Also tracking the nr of errors being raised would be mighty interesting. I know there are third party solutions out there that solve part of the equation but having this data in one place sounds pretty interesting.

Any thoughts?

Yes, thats exactly what we do with it. We use it to track (among other things) sent/read messages, created ratings, , signups and sales. You can define your own metrics/gauges very easily. Have a look at "doc/ulm_stats.rb" or contact me on skype ("paulasmuth") if you run into any questions or issues :)
