: In Universal analytics.js: how do you enable local remote server mode than sends data to your own server as well as to Google's? I'm trying migrate website tracking from old Google Analytics

@Rivera981

There doesn't seem to be an easy function built into analytics.js that I have found, however, there is this code for sending the same data via an XHR request to your server.

ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');

ga(function(tracker) {

// Grab a reference to the default sendHitTask function.
var originalSendHitTask = tracker.get('sendHitTask');

// Modifies sendHitTask to send a copy of the request to a local server after
// sending the normal request to google-analytics.com/collect. tracker.set('sendHitTask', function(model) {
originalSendHitTask(model);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', '/localhits', true);
xhr.send(model.get('hitPayload'));
});
});

ga('send', 'pageview');
