Hi Boris,

I'm Kevin from the Google Analytics API Team.

Currently, the measurement protocol doesn't support passing IP parameter. Also, our documentation states that "While it is possible to send events to Google Analytics solely with measurement protocol, only partial reporting may be available. The purpose of measurement protocol is to augment existing events collected via gtag, GTM, or Firebase.". You may try implementing custom dimensions to track unsupported values in measurement protocol.

Hi Boris,

Please see below for my comments on your concerns.

1. Clear in terms of IP address. Is this something that you are still working on, considering the measurement protocol is still in beta?

There's already an existing feature request in order for customers to send IP addresses via Measurement Protocol. However, I'm afraid that we won't be able to provide a timeline on when it will be supported. Can you provide your use-case to me on why you need to send IP addresses via MP so I can add it to the ongoing feature request?

2. How can I send through the user agent?

Can you provide your use-case to me on why you need to send user agent via MP so I can share it to our team as well?

3. How can I send page_view events with traffic source fields (e.g. referrer, identifiers, utm parameters) so that it properly categorizes the session and user's source/medium.

I'll check this with the rest of our team. I'll let you know once I have more information. In the meantime, you can try creating custom dimensions to track these information.

Kevin Soriano, Google Analytics API team
