Domain Proxy using HTTP Api and Maintenance Browser SDK no longer working

Hi there,Our configuration for event tracking appears to no longer be working, as of ~March 13th.Event ingestion has dropped to 0 since that date in our data -> sources -> ingestion debugging dashboard.Our setup is as follows:* Using the old browser SDK, amplitude-js* Use apiEndpoint config option to override the destination API* Specify our own Domain Proxy API endpoint, which is an nginx server configured to proxy to https://api.amplitude.com as per your documentation.I realise the SDK we are using is marked as being in maintenance mode, but I don't see anywhere saying it should have stopped working entirely. Should we expect the above configuration to still be working? Or has something been disabled that we weren't aware of.

Connect Search Console to Amplitude to track search queries

Hi, For organic visitors, we would like to create a user property/event that contains the users search query (i.e. what they typed in Google) in Amplitude, so we can track how they behave on our platform. Is this possible (e.g., with a connection with Search Console)? Thanks!

(Ab)using identify()

Hi, I’d really like to hear community thoughts about the following. We’re implementing Amplitude through Segment in a SPA and we ran into an interesting questionWe want every event that arrives to amplitude to have a property `product_capability` where the value describes the part of the product where the event fired from. In other words if a user navigates to the homepage and clicks on a button A and then on a button B there there we would capture this:homepage viewed {product_capability:home}button_a clicked {product_capability:home}button_b clicked {product_capability:home} if they then navigated to whatever page and clicked on 2 buttons there we would do this whatever_page viewed {product_capability:whatever}button_a clicked {product_capability:whatever}button_b clicked {product_capability:whatever} As you can see we’re adding product_capability as an event property to every event. What would happen if we add that property as a user trait and then called identify() every time it ch

Bug with displaying of deprecated parameters (?)

Hello, everybody!I ran into a problem. Earlier I created the "Payment" event with properties "is_discount", "price", "quantity". Mobile apps started sending this event.After a while, I asked my developers not to send the "quantity" property anymore, since it was no longer necessary. But now this property is always displayed in the received event with a value of 1, although mobile applications do not send it (we checked the traffic).Tell me, please, what could be the reason for this behavior?

Is there a method for removing an element from a group property of type array?

The Identify API has a documented operation for removing items from an array property, but the Group Identify API doc doesn’t include such a method.  Is that a documentation error or is it in fact not available?

Structuring analytics - multiple events or properties.

I’m building out Siri Shortcuts in my app. There is currently one but I will be adding more. I’m trying to decide if I should have a single event that represents the invocation of a shortcut and then use a property to determine which shortcut.Alternately, should I just have a separate event for each shortcut?Any best practice suggestions I should follow?

Tracking Impressions

Hi, My app has a listing of multiple merchants in a scrollable format. A customer can scroll on the home page and easily view 50 different merchants in a single session. I’d like to track merchant impressions i.e. the number of times each merchant appears on the screen. Any recommendations on the best way to do this ? I’d rather not fire an event for each merchant that appears. Would amplitude SDK have some type of aggregation capability that can combine multiple events into a single event with an array of merchant names that appeared ?Thanks

Using GA4 datalyer

Hi all,I would like to set up Amplitude and migrate from GA4 to Amplitude. One of our prerequisites would be that Amplitude supports the GA4 datalayer for e-commerce events. As far as I have seen the datalayer is not supported, is this correct? https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/ecommerce?hl=en&client_type=gtm#view_item_details Our shop automatically pushes a datalayer object once an action has been triggered by the user. For example, a view_item event when a product detail page is viewed.dataLayer.push({ ecommerce: null }); // Clear the previous ecommerce object.dataLayer.push({ event: "view_item", ecommerce: { currency: "USD", value: 7.77, items: [ { item_id: "SKU_12345", item_name: "Stan and Friends Tee", affiliation: "Google Merchandise Store", coupon: "SUMMER_FUN", discount: 2.22, index: 0, item_brand: "Google", item_category: "Apparel", item_category2: "Adult", item_category3: "Shir

Exceed event type limits by mistake, how to fix?

Originally when we set up Amplitude, we made a mistake in that every time we tried to track an event, we ended up basically creating a new event type. In essence, we were including the email of a user along with the action they took. So whenever I looked at the Amplitude dashboard I would see a ton of events like, “User123 clicked this button” and “User124 clicked this button”. As you might imagine, we ran up against the 2,000 event type limit pretty quickly.I finally got curious enough to want to properly set up Amplitude, but now I can’t figure out how to fix this. I went to the Events tab and selected all of those old events and deleted them, but I’m still seeing this “Your instrumentation has exceeded the maximum number of event types” message. I have properly set up a few events, but they don’t seem to be showing up here in the Events tab.Do I just set up a new organization? Can I ‘factory reset’ everything here?

Histogram of a numerical event property

I have an event property, “total_time” that tells me the length of a workout in seconds after a workout completed event is sent. An example property value might be “61”, which would mean 61 seconds.  I would like to look at the distribution of these property values, aka a histogram. How many events triggered for property values 0 - 300 (5 mins) … and so on.  BUT, I can’t seem to get an Amplitude chat that works? Any ideas I should try?

How to set trackingSessionEvents

We are planning to introduce Amplitude to our app service and have some questions regarding the configuration. We are having trouble with the 'trackingSessionEvents' setting.According to the documentation[link], the 'trackingSessionEvents' property of the configuration object is set to false. However, the default initializer for the configuration object in the SDK has the 'trackingSessionEvents' property set to true.Firstly, we would like to know why there is a discrepancy between the two documents.Secondly, we do not want to set up our own session for our app, but instead apply the default Amplitude session (5 minutes). What value should we set to achieve this?Thank you in advance for your response

Doing Group Identify API call before sending event, yet when filtering by group property in chart for event, they are coming up NULL

Hi, I have not been able to find a similar topic on this forum.My team has a script to send events to our Amplitude project, and we are using Groups. The script is simple and always does Group Identify API call before sending the event (via HTTP V2 API). The name of our group is “license”. We use the Group Identify to set a bunch of license properties, including license_type. For the event in question, the expected value for license_type is pretty much always “evaluation”.However, as you can see in this chart: https://analytics.amplitude.com/appfire/chart/new/gpbprvfthere is a mix. Some events come through with expected evaluation value for license_type group property, and some come through with license_type = NULL.I have gone back and looked through my script’s logs, and can prove for at least 2 groups that I sent a Group Identify API call with license_type = EVALUATION for these groups before sending the EvaluationStarted event. By drilling into View Groups on the March 13 point in t

How do I set `user_properties` on identify calls with ampli?

How do I set `user_properties` on identify calls with ampli?This page here say that the ampli will generate an identify method with an overload that looks like:ampli.identify('user_id', {/* user props */}, {/* amplitude options */ })but that isn’t what I see with `@amplitude/ampli/1.31.0 darwin-arm64 node-v18.14.1` /      `@amplitude/analytics-browser@1.9.1` /** * Identify a user and set user properties. * * @param userId The user's id. * @param options Optional event options. */ identify( userId: string | undefined, options?: EventOptions, ): PromiseResult<Result> { if (!this.isInitializedAndEnabled()) { return getVoidPromiseResult(); } if (userId) { options = {...options, user_id: userId}; } const amplitudeIdentify = new amplitude.Identify(); return this.amplitude!.identify( amplitudeIdentify, options, ); }type `EventOptions` looks promising, especially the `.extra` field -- but when passing values into that field, d

Using ampli, over 1,000 user properties!

I’m a new Amplitude user and loving it.  However, I think ampli is sending rogue user properties, as there are over 1,000 user properties in my data plan.  I’ve only defined 19 user properties and 12 event properties.  I’d really like to roll this out for some UAT but I know I’ll run over my plan.  How do I get rid of these?  I’m using @amplitude/analytics-browser 1.9.0.

newly added events are not counted

I added the events in general two days ago, and the existing events are counted well, but the events I added are not counted.When tested on the test server, it was counted well, but when reflected on the production server, it was not counted on the production server i guess the reason is below Existing events have a well-connected data source with sdk, but added events are not connected. It's been more than 48 hours since I added the event, and I was wondering if it was taking a long time or if there was an issueFor reference, we changed from api method to sdk method, and also changed the status of the event "unexpected" to "live".(Web Service Operation)Do you know what to find out and how to deal with this?
