I have seen this  "window.GlideWebAnalytics.trackEvent("Service Catalog", "Widget Name", "Widget Description")" is being used in the some of the Widgets.  I want to know what or why is it being used ?

IF I convert this into  "$window.GlideWebAnalytics.trackEvent()" will there be any side effects to the system ?

where can we track this event data log ?  

If anyone has any information, Please share it with me.

You might want to raise this with support, this function isn't documented anywhere.

My best guess would be that it is related to the User Experience Analytics dashboard.

Hi, did you get an answer on this? I have to convert the 'window' to $window also.

GlideWebAnalytics is a wrapper for two of the native Piwik/Matomo methods (trackEvent and trackPage). Piwik is a third-party tool that was used for ServiceNow web analytics. 

It was decommissioned by the end of 2021, and since ServiceNow has migrated towards Appsee (snAnalytics).
