I am looking to integrate simple web traffic tracking with a grails app.
I was thinking the best way to do this is with JavaScript include at the end of each page, kind of like Google analytics and many others do it, so it’s not server log specific (our app is clustered over multiple servers). When it comes to reporting results, I need a very simple counter of unique visits based on page URL retrieved through an API so it can be pulled with REST preferably.
Before I dive into throwing up a custom app for that, wanted to see if you can recommend any existing solutions, something free to use / cheap …
Thanks
