Disable UI but keep recording statistics?

Hello,

First question would be: does “maintenance_mode = 1” stops the server from recording visits?

if it does, Is it possible to disable access to the User Interface but keep recording statistics with Piwik?

Thanks!

Thank you for taking your time to reply, Matthieu. I had already read that article, but it doesn’t explicitly say if stopping the UI (maintenance_mode =1 ) affects the recording of statistics.

I assumed it continues tracking, but wanted to be sure of it.

Thanks for the feedback, i’ve clarified the text of FAQ: How do I momentarily disable Piwik User Interface and/or Piwik visitor Tracking? - Analytics Platform - Matomo
