What you are seeing
Views seem to be sent (no errors anywhere) but nothing lands in the property you are looking at.
#Why it happens
A valid-looking G- ID that belongs to a different or non-existent property. Google accepts the events without complaint, so both the browser and the server report success while the data goes nowhere you can see.
#What to do
Connect Google, pick the GA4 property, and select the Measurement ID from its data stream rather than typing it, so the ID and the property you report on cannot drift apart.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Measurement ID | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > View tracking | The GA4 tag ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX). This is the single required setting: nothing is collected anywhere until it is set. |
Measurement Protocol API secret | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > Enhanced tracking | Unlocks the server-side events: search, comments, and page create/update. Not needed for page views. |
Capable analytics integration | Capable Sites > the site > Settings > Integrations | Turns on tracking of the published static site, tagged with the Confluence space, page id, type and version so published views join up with in-Confluence views. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Measurement ID format | - | Universal Analytics IDs are accepted by the settings field but collect nothing anywhere. |
#Related
Search, comment and page create/update events never show up, but page views work fine
No Measurement Protocol API secret is stored. Google requires one for server-sent events;
Enhanced tracking worked, then silently stopped after you saved settings again
A manually pasted API secret is wiped by the next Save configuration unless you retype it.
Everything else
The rest of this family.
Found it? Good.
