The Sidra plugin (a.k.a. connector) for Google Analytics Universal enables seamless connection to a Google Analytics Universal account to extract metrics and dimensions reporting data.
This connector allows to connect to the reporting layer of the Google Analytics Universal API via pre-defined report queries. You can configure multiple Entities mapping to different reports. The Sidra connector wizard form allows to define these different report tables to import. As such, it does not allow to access all the raw data from the Google Analytics model, it just allows to extract pre-configured report tables. Reporting tables are configured by a set of metrics and dimensions. Not all dimensions and metrics are valid combinations to query.
