Mixpanel Event Queue

Transmit events to Mixpanel that were logged to a queue using RabbitMQ. Just push the JSON representation of your event to a durable RabbitMQ queue called mixpanel. mixpanel-rabbit inserts your Mixpanel token, base64-encodes the data and sends it to Mixpanel.

Erlang (R14) and RabbitMQ (2.8) needs to be installed. Different versions might work.

The queue name is hardwired to "mixpanel".

Features

• Transmit multiple events concurrently (asynchronous HTTP requests)
• Retry transmission in case of connection problems
• Insert Mixpanel token and timestamp if not specified in message

Usage

Get the required libraries:

./rebar get-deps

Build the application:

./rebar clean compile generate

Edit rel/mixpanel/releases/*/sys.config and insert your Mixpanel token.

Run:

./rel/mixpanel/bin/mixpanel start

Deployment

Copy rel/mixpanel to a folder on the destination server.
