Since the app uses the same URL
/v2we can not monitor in the stats whether our users use the new interface to see the WRF results or the GFS results.To address this issue, we replace the standard analytics script with a custom one that attaches a custom property to every “page view” event to indicate the underlying model (GFS or WRF).
As a consequence, we can now segment visits according to that property:
Alternatively, we could rewrite the URL to use distinct URLs such as
/v2/gfsand/v2/wrfbut I believe custom properties attached to the page view events are a cleaner way to track that information.
