GA Push

This module extends the functionality of Google Analytics module.

GA Push offers an API to enqueue informations that are sent GA servers, and three submodules to track browser events (using jQuery), form validation errors and log exceptions.

So, you can enable submodules, config and track, or you can use the PHP API to enqueue your own events that will be sent to Google Analytics servers.

Drupal 8

GA Push main module, the one that exposes the API to send info to Google Analytics, is functional since Drupal 8 release.

Integration with Rules is a little bit rought. See #2707971: Rules integration: method can't be selected. Also Rules Actions params are very spartan, but this is due Rules current status.

Example submodule GA Push Log has been removed because Rules doesn't provide watchdog content. See #2707979: Bring back GA Push Log submodule.

GA Push Browser has been removed and it's not going to be ported at the moment.

GA Push Form Validate is fully functional.

Drupal 6 support

Mantainers can't develop the 6.x branch but toemaz has posted a port to Drupal 6, see this issuse: #2227399: D6 backport with PHP-GA and UTMP support. If you need a Drupal 6 GA Push release please install the 6.x version zip attached to this issue and report back your results to the issue.
