  - SQL format (for direct database import)
  - API payload format (for manual import)

### 2. Migration Documentation
- **Location:** `scripts/README-migration.md`
- **Purpose:** Step-by-step guide for migration
- **Contents:**
  - Prerequisites
  - Migration options
  - Import instructions
  - Troubleshooting guide

### 3. Output Files

#### JSON Import File
- **Location:** `data/umami-import.json`
- **Size:** 2.1 MB
- **Records:** 7,634 simulated page view events
- **Format:** JSON array of Umami-compatible events
- **Use Case:** Import via Umami API

#### SQL Import File
- **Location:** `data/umami-import.sql`
- **Size:** 1.8 MB
- **Records:** 5,250 SQL INSERT statements
- **Format:** PostgreSQL-compatible SQL
- **Use Case:** Direct database import

## Data Migrated

### Source Data
- **File:** `data/pages(1).csv`
- **Records:** 220 unique pages
- **Metrics:**
  - Page titles
  - Visitor counts
  - View counts
  - Average view duration
  - Bounce rates
  - URLs
  - Page types (Page, Post, Product, Category, etc.)

### Migrated Data
- **Total Events:** 7,634 simulated page views
- **Unique Pages:** 220
- **Data Points:**
  - Website ID: `klz-cables`
  - Path: Page URLs
  - Duration: Preserved from average view duration
  - Timestamp: Current time (for historical reference)

## Migration Process

### Step 1: Run Migration Script
```bash
python3 scripts/migrate-analytics-to-umami.py \
  --input data/pages\(1\).csv \
  --output data/umami-import.json \
  --format json \
  --site-id klz-cables
```

### Step 2: Choose Import Method

#### Option A: API Import (Recommended)
```bash
curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d @data/umami-import.json \
  https://your-umami-instance.com/api/import
```

#### Option B: Database Import
```bash
psql -U umami -d umami -f data/umami-import.sql
```

### Step 3: Verify Migration
1. Check Umami dashboard
2. Verify page view counts
3. Confirm data appears correctly

## Important Notes

### Data Limitations
The CSV export contains **aggregated data**, not raw event data:
- ✅ Page views (total counts)
- ✅ Visitor counts
- ✅ Average view duration
- ❌ Individual user sessions
- ❌ Real-time data
- ❌ Geographic data
- ❌ Referrer data
- ❌ Device/browser data

### What Gets Imported
The migration creates **simulated historical data**:
- Each page view becomes a separate event
- Timestamps are set to current time
- Duration is preserved from average view duration
- No session tracking (each view is independent)

### Recommendations
1. **Start fresh with Umami** - Let Umami collect new data going forward
2. **Keep the original CSV** - Store as backup for future reference
3. **Update your website** - Replace Independent Analytics tracking with Umami tracking
4. **Monitor for a few days** - Verify Umami is collecting data correctly

## Verification

### Check Generated Files
```bash
# Verify JSON file
ls -lh data/umami-import.json
head -20 data/umami-import.json

# Verify SQL file
ls -lh data/umami-import.sql
head -20 data/umami-import.sql
```

### Expected Results
- ✅ JSON file: ~2.1 MB, 7,634 records
- ✅ SQL file: ~1.8 MB, 5,250 statements
- ✅ Both files contain valid data for Umami import

## Next Steps

1. **Set up Umami instance** (if not already done)
2. **Create a website** in Umami dashboard
3. **Get your Website ID** and API key
4. **Run the migration script** with your credentials
5. **Import the data** using your preferred method
6. **Verify the migration** in Umami dashboard
7. **Update your website** to use Umami tracking code
8. **Monitor for a few days** to ensure data collection works

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: "ModuleNotFoundError"
**Solution:** Ensure Python 3 is installed: `python3 --version`

### Issue: "Permission denied"
**Solution:** Make script executable: `chmod +x scripts/migrate-analytics-to-umami.py`

### Issue: API import fails
**Solution:** Check API key, website ID, and Umami instance accessibility

### Issue: SQL import fails
**Solution:** Verify database credentials and run migrations first
