Hi.
I noticed today that http://status.wikimedia.org/ loads Google Analytics:
--- document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
$(document).ready(function(){try{pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-230951-5"); pageTracker._trackPageview();}catch(err){} }); ---
Who manages this Google Analytics account? Is Google Analytics used on any other Wikimedia domains?

http://status.mozilla.com/ and http://status.automattic.com/ use UA-230951-5 as well, along with sites such as http://api-status.com/ and http://worldcup2010.public-website-status.com/ (for instance).
It looks like the Google Analytics code and UA-230951-5 is part of the CA Nimsoft Cloud Monitor system http://www.nimsoft.com/solutions/nimsoft-cloud-user-experience/key-features/public-status-page.html, which "powers" public status pages. Check the page source or scroll to the bottom for the credits link.

That's great. Thanks for finding that. I updated https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Google_Analytics accordingly.

BTW, that really should at least be mentioned in the footer of that page if you ask me. It seems at least parts of status.wikimedia.org are configurable in terms of styling, so perhaps the footer can be made to mention this.
Compared to the rest of our ecosystem, it might only have a few users, but we should get that covered in my opinion. I'm CC'ing legal, because I'm wondering what their opinion is. It is externals doing user tracking on a wmf domain after all.
