Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Sounds like a must-try: #Tealium has a "stream connector errors" feature now - you will be surprised how often Meta, Google, Adobe & Co. have issues with their server-side endpoints: docs.tealium.com/administrati...docs.tealium.comConnector error loggingThis article explains how to configure connector error log sources, review log parameters, and troubleshoot connector errors. 020
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Yes, let's use a crawler to crawl all the 100s of thousands of products and their reviews to gather review data instead of using the ready-to-use existing export with all the reviews per product... 010

Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 17/08/2026IT won't budge, so client asks u to implement a 3rd-party solution. U have governance concerns with that (untestable black-box) solution. Analytics vendor comes up with wild workaround for a compromise. When all is finally ready, vendor tells u they have now decided to cut ties with the 3rd party.😆💩 010

Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Too late. But if you’re from #fraud0, why does your tool log an “Error” statement to the console on any page of any website it’s on? and why is it not possible to test it on an internal domain? 001
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Good to know you’re using Adobe’s translation engine. 🙈🙈🙈😂😂 010
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Wow: Sub-Hit (e.g. product-dimension-based) segments coming to #AdobeAnalytics soon!

Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Now that's a trust-inspring warning... #fraud0 #piwikPro 110
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 07/07/2026No, it is not a good idea to use "utm_campaign=...underperformers...". Unless you want to scare users or help your competitors (when "underperformers" refers to products)🤦♂️#facepalmAnalytics 120
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Yes, but the AA issue is still at a very low incidence rate, because AA should get every single Event from the website & app (compared to Google and Meta which fire only a few conversions, so Google/Meta errors/timeouts is much more worrying). 010
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Lately lots of server-side APIs have delivery issues. First #Meta, then #GoogleAds, now #AdobeAnalytics. Monitor your server-side connections! Screenshot from #Tealium Event Stream 220
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 08/06/2026The #fraud0 integration into #PiwikPro is worth a look, but it is a complete blackbox, zero control. It is a "hidden tag" that runs without you knowing when or what. You can't even switch it off without Piwik Pro Support. No #CSP instructions either on the PP integration info. Not enterprise-style. 110
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I find it quite amusing. Makes sure I’m not running out of work 🤣🙈 010
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 11/05/2026You run a large display campaign on a popular chat application in Eastern Asia. Your Analytics team tells you: It's all #Bots, so you've spent a lot of money on nothing. What do you do? You run a similar campaign a few months later... 😭 110
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 04/05/2026You just HAVE to use the #AdobeAnalytics Reporting API 2.0 instead of "DWH" exports and keep running into API limits?

Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 15/04/2026#Adobe, the maker of the "Experience Platform", has offered an increasingly desastrous experience when it comes to localization, especially in their (Microsoft-Dynamics-based, that explains a lot) Support Portal. I am sick of it. And they don't respect user preferences: I set my language to English. 010
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 13/04/2026#Hungary 's time as a #Russian parasite are over. After Assad, Maduro and now #Orban, Putin has fewer and fewer allies. And I can go back to #superweek without fearing that my money spent there will help the Hungarian regime. 150
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 07/04/2026It is quite common and actually good practice to name your variables the same way across Sites for consistency (and it is the foundation for making the Piwik Pro Manager Google Sheets so scalable). 000
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Only when you go "this tag uses 2 variables", you see that the variable it actually references is "V1 (copy)" and not "V1" - or is it? I don't know. In any case, I cannot simply delete "V1 (copy)" because it says "the variable is still used". 100
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 07/04/2026... So far, that's known behaviour, and sort-of understandable. Tag T in Site S2 now shows references to "V1" and "V2". HOWEVER, the tag ACTUALLY references "V1 (copy)" and "V2 (copy)", but in the interface it looks as if it references "V1" and "V2"! .... 100
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 07/04/2026In long form: Example: Site S1 has Tag T which uses Variables named "V1" and "V2". Site S2 has Variables with the same names "V1" and "V2". Now I copy Tag T from Site S2 to Site S2. PP creates "V1 (copy)" and "V2 (copy)"...youtube.comCopy Components without creating duplicates - with Piwik Pro ManagerYouTube video by Lukas Oldenburg 100
Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Bug when copying Tags in #Piwik Pro Tag Manager from Site to Site: If the Tag contains a variable with e.g. name "V1" in the destination Site already, you will see variable "V1" inside the newly created tag, but it will actually reference "V1 (copy)" (which u can see through the "relationships"). 120

Lukas Oldenburg @lukasoldenburg.bsky.social · 02/03/2026You remove some 10's of thousands of Bots after some serious analysis and reprocessing. Now somebody seriously complains that their report suddenly shows less Visits, and that we should not retroactively filter out Bots from reports anymore... 😆 020
