title: How to correctly use google analytics measurement protocol?
body: <p>I'm learning to use google analytics for apps. For test purpose i have created a new google account, enabled analytics for apps and issued following command from terminal to test is it working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl "http://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&amp;tid=UA-12345678-1&amp;cid=123&amp;an=myapp&amp;t=event&amp;ec=action&amp;ea=click"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, this request don't affect any numbers i see on analytics page - it's all zeroes. Any request to google analytics results in "200 OK" and 1x1 pixel gif image, so i can't figure out the problem: is the request incorrect, or i need to somehow preconfigure google analytics, or it have days delay before data is displayed etc.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
