940560 - add optional analytics back into the webapp

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Webapp, task)

Description

[Lonnen :lonnen]

Log file analytics were manually intensive and had a miniscule signal:noise ratio. Attempting to implement page-level analytics in graphite resulted in crash-stats crashing our graphite cluster several times.

We used to use client side web analytics, but removed it when Moz briefly switched providers. Now we're back to using Google Analytics, and I think we should set it up for Socorro again.

I believe (based on testing -- Web Console + bug dependency -- bug 941703) that this is off right now, but can (and probably should) be tested once that's resolved.  Team can verify once that's in, though, too.

The format for this changed. We'll need to add config for local.py from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=941703#c3

# Optional Google Analytics ID
#GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID = "UA-35433268-50"
# Root domain. Required iff you're providing an analytics ID.
#GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_DOMAIN = "mozilla.org"
