• christian.montecino (Unlicensed) Google analytics api usage reports - there is an issue with recording API usage. it does not match the gateway data. (APIGEE-189) Christian will start logging into a text file the API execution to compare with google analytics. 

• Christian asked the Loggly cloud service provider rep to create a report for us to compare with the Google analytics report. 

• The free account is expiring and Christian requested and extension. 

• First we will compare Loggly usage to Google analytics. Then we will move the functionality to Splunk. 

• 26 Jul 2019 The apigee portal reports more requests than what we see in analytics. But, loggly events show a matching number to what apigee is showing. Christian will continue to look into why it isn't recording the information.
• 16 Aug 2019 no update
• 30 Aug 2019 We might require to adjust the flow. If the EV (event value) value is not properly formatted it will not be recorded in Google Analytics. Christian will test it with a static value of 1 and test the week after the numbers. 
• 13 Sep 2019 Christian made change in the apigee gateway to record the event in google analytics. 
• 20 Sep 2019 Christian is putting another change as the previous change did not help. Diana will email Jordan Wyatt to ask him for help next week if the numbers are still off. 
• 27 Sep 2019 Christian - testing new code. Shea has a contact person on google cloud that might help. Shea sent the issue to his contact. Another option is to modify Steven's solution to export by API. We can use AWS, possibly the Redshift database, or another database.
• 04 Oct 2019 Christian contacted Shea Lovan to get in contact with a google technician for troubleshooting.
• 11 Oct 2019 Shea will talk to the google person on Monday. Our account is capped at 500 calls per session. Christian requested from the ETS infrastructure team to push data to Splunk.

• GoGaucho Improvements
  • 10 Jul 2019
    • Good news. The iOS application had the username/password form removed from the application and it no longer retrieves students data which has been screen scraped from GOLD.
    • Jimmy (the Android Developer) is going to add a security token to the Heroku endpoint and will be upgrading the Android application to use it before we next meet.
    • Henry (iOS) will update the iOS application to use the secured Heroku endpoint before the end of the summer.
• 09 Aug 2019 Today we met with the iOS developer. The user name and password are still there. Asked Henry to remove it. We also found functionality to view meal plans also with screen scraping. We will be asking Gary Scott if there is an API. We will meet with the android developer on Monday and ask him to remove the meal plan information. We gave them by 8/16 to remove the password screens. Henry thinks he can implement the schedules API by start of Fall quarter. 
• 16 Aug 2019 Meal Plan display in go gaucho - ARIT (Mike Blakemore) is checking with Blackboard what APIs they have available.

• Diana Antova to follow up with Henry and Jimmy on making the changes 26 Aug 2019 

13 Sep 2019 All screen scraping is gone now!  

26 Sep 2019 Next meeting with the student is on 11 Oct 2019 

11 Oct 2019 Met today. 2 new students joined the team. Developing a planning tool. Still an issue with the API performance.

• Steven Maglio Create requirements in Confluence (APIGEE-209)
  1. Confluence: Account Cleanup Project
  2. Dev Portal: Account Cleanup
  3. Can we add API Proxy name to the data that is collected?

26 Sep 2019 Database that collects weekly statistics was moved to a SIST dev server. Will move it to AWS when we get an account, possibly using Lambda functions. For now, the code (powershell) will be put in Github Apigee team.

The Registrar's Office has completed enough APIs that it's possible to replace the functionality of the private Department Courses Extract API with 

• Student Rosters
• Academic Curriculums
• Student Basic Student Info

The Registrar's Office is currently working on a Student Gender Pronoun project which will probably affect the private Department Courses Extract API and the Student Basic Student Info API. That project is set to wrap up in mid-September (before students return). Since there will be communication with API customers of the update to the APIs, it might be best to start the conversation about deprecating the private Department Courses Extract API after the completion of the Gender Pronoun project. This would give us 2 months to think about what's the best way to communicate a deprecation.

• Diana Antova email csf to announce the APIs

27 Sep 2019 we will need to create an extended Curriculums endpoint that includes the instructor employee id. 

04 Oct 2019 Diana will schedule a meeting with Gaucho Space and Reg team to discuss necessary changes.
