GARTER
Introduction
Google Analytics web interface does not allow users to monitor realtime traffic from multiple Google Analytics profiles on a single screen. Garter was created in hope to alleviate this problem.
Setup
git clone https://github.com/ndnhat/garter.git
cd garter
npm install
npm start
Garter requires a number of environment variables:
GA_USER=your_google_analytics_username
GA_PASSWORD=your_google_analytics_password
GA_PROFILE_IDS=comma_separated_profile_ids
GA_PROFILE_NAME=comma_separated_profile_names
In addition, the "Per User Limit" setting for Analytics API in Google Developers Consolemay need to be increased. It is recommended to change the limit to 10 requests/second/user.
Google also imposes a 50,000 requests/day for most Analytics API developers. By default, Garter will query the Google Analytics API once every minute for each profile id provided which translates to 1440 requests/profile/day.

Garter is made possible by a number of great open-source tools:
