Correct, analytics team will take care of maintaining these docs.

This will give you the WHOLE stream of client side events, correct, valid and invalid.

This log holds VALID events both client and server side.

Correct

Correct

Thanks for testing before sending your code to prod!

Hi Nuria,

I'm about to send this off to the mobile-tech list. But before I do that, is this info correct?

Thanks,
Bernd

Heads up, that the way we test Event Logging has changed. Details can be found here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventLogging/Testing/BetaLabs

1. 
ssh eventlogging02.eqiad.wmflabs
cd /var/log/eventlogging
tail -f client-side-events.log

For unvalidated events check out the file all-events.log instead.


2. Modify event logging code in client code
In Android app uncomment the following line in EventLoggingEvent
//    private static final String EVENTLOG_URL = "http://bits.beta.wmflabs.org/event.gif";

Please don't commit that change to keep the production value as is.

3. Run your code, and see the output from step 1.


As an aside: 

Confused about beta and labs, like I was? Check out https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Labs_labs_labs. For some reason when I joined it was called beta labs and that stuck with me, and for a lot of others, like the creator of the page https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventLogging/Testing/BetaLabs.

Cheers,
Bernd
