I'd like to track different parts of my site separately
right now it seems chartbeat is tracking my site as a whole. i'd like to be able to track different subsections of my site separately, or have a view that is specific to subsections of my site. it would also be cool if i could get down to a specific page level, which could be useful if i'm looking only at my top page, or landing pages which are getting traffic from different ad units.

Just let us use a different code for different parts of our site, i'm even okay with using another "site" to do this.

Echoing JBDEF's post would be great to have ChartBeat names for pages. While your at it we could add coloring to the log on the right. ie. if someone is on my order confirmation page show that as a green box in the black and white log on the right. Love CB..

Yes, we'd like to track our marketing page and app separately. (They both have the same url)

I agree. Given that our site is dynamic and we pass "keys' and/or "tokens" in the URL itself - It would helpful of you could filter only a portion of the URL or have the system ignore the URL and summarize according to "Page Title" only. This would make a huge difference for us.

I'm tracking a set of subdomains using the same tracking code; segmenting by subdomain would therefore be very welcome! ;)

Ideally this would work based on the site admin registering "URL patterns". Which are simple regular expressions:
/thread[0-9]*.html
/movie/[0-9]*/*And once registered, these would filter the stats so that it was possible to view all of the current widgets against a specified pattern.
This would allow me to then ask a question such as, "Has a change I made to one of my dynamic pages affected the user experience (page load time) in any way?", and I'd be able to view the page load time against all pages produced by that controller.
As it would be a chore to then have to visit every URL pattern to see whether any particular controller has degraded over time, it would be lovely to then add sparklines to the home page that showed page load time (or other metrics) per URL pattern. So we'd get an instant overview of the page load time and how it splits across parts of the site.
I'd love this for http://www.londonfgss.com/ it would help me see when what I think are user experience improvements to a page are actually having a negative effect.

Agreed, at least if it's possible to change the page title for chartbeat with a javascript variable, it would be great.
It's easier to see that 15 people are seeing your "feedback page" than seeing one people seeing your "feedback about xxx" another one "feedback about yyy" etc. etc.
Ideally (would pay for that!) it would be good to be able to inject some user data (page title of course, but also language, currency, is_user_logged etc.)
Thanks for this fabulous chartbeat! -

Yes, this would be great. Sites today are no longer static sites (most of them anyway), so to be able to track pages according to the site's taxonomy would be very useful.
