#234: make click-to-launch-in-EC2 button something that we can log --------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: mattdm | Owner: webmaster Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Fedora 20 Component: get.fp.o | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: --------------------------+----------------------- Right now, we don't have very good statistics about whether the deploy-to- cloud button is being used. As I understand it, the current implementation just presents a bare link which we can't easily log. I don't want invasive tracking or anything, just a count of how many launches there have been (analogous to counting downloads). Could we make the button link to a redirect which we can then count?

We need to work on this together with the Infra team. I guess the ticket for this is already open, adding it here for all the others:

If we were allowed to use a server-side language I'm sure we could make something for it quickly

I think server-side processing is probably overkill -- it really just needs to be a redirect.

PS: this'd be awesome to see for F22 web redesign, if possible.
The basic thing is that we need to URLs that are clicked to be _Fedora_ URLs, which then redirect to the real target URLs.

Well, that makes sense, but how are you going to store the statistics? We either have to use a third party or write our own server-side script.

I think we can use a redirect rule on our varnish proxy such that anything like http://theoreticalredirectserver.fedoraproject.org/redirect/console.aws.amaz... =us-east-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-21362b48 would be redirected to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us- east-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-21362b48
The clicks on that first link would be logged with our normal web logs and could be analyzed.

OK, the redirect is ready:

Oop, although I see now the fragment identifier is not taken along for the ride yet. :(

Nevermind this - browsers seem to handle it correctly.

Websites updated, all EC2 links now go through the redirect alias. See ref. e8b3c55.
