I would like to create an endpoint in AWS that could collect the number of user visits (or user clicks) to different URL on a website.
My idea is to use the SDK API PutMetricData to push the values to CloudWatch. But I am unsure on how to format this "custom metric" in a way that the values can be represented correctly in a CloudWatch dashboard.
The other complication is also to determine unique user visits/clicks in the values.
The goal is to capture number of user visits per URL and per interval. If I can also capture the user-agent of the user, such as browser type, in the custom metric, that would be the ultimate goal.
I am interested to know if anyone has tried anything like this and I would appreciate any recommendation on how to achieve this.
Thanking you in advance.
