Vemetric

Understanding what people do inside a product usually means running a page view counter next to a separate analytics tool. Vemetric is an open source platform that keeps both views of the same traffic in one dashboard, so website behavior and product behavior are read together.

The platform records custom events alongside ordinary traffic and lets you slice them with filters to isolate the segment worth understanding. Tracking works across several subdomains, so a marketing site and the application behind it report into the same project.

The feature set stays deliberately small.

• Real-time analytics: visits and events appear as they happen rather than after a delay.
• User journeys: behavior tracking follows the path a person takes through the product.
• Custom events: anything the product cares about can be sent and counted next to page traffic.
• Filtering: conditions narrow the data down to the interactions you want to study.
• Subdomain tracking: one project covers a marketing site and the app it leads into.

Vemetric is licensed under AGPLv3, so a derivative that is distributed or offered as a network service has to be released under the same license with its source code available to every user of that service. Self hosting is planned as a Community Edition covering the dashboard and user journeys, but the maintainers call it early and not yet a priority, which leaves the hosted service as the current way in.
