Alright, so from your description, it sounds like you are already halfway there. You’re using the hostname dimension, right? That’s going to allow you to tell apart hits coming from different subdomains, so that’s all fine and dandy. Don’t worry, the Full URL dimension should cover your needs as well.

Now, you might be thinking of using a custom dimension to sort this out. But remember, the number of these are limited, so you need to use them sparingly. Let’s not jump at that solution just yet.

It seems like you’re expecting there’s an issue, but you haven’t exactly told me what it is. Now if you really want to make sure everything’s being captured the right way, what you can do is check out the network requests your site is sending to Google’s collect endpoint. Pay close attention to the dl field – you want to see that it’s reflecting the full URL appropriately. However, don’t stress about it unless you’re noticing something odd in your data. After all, the dl field is generally the same as window.location.href and isn’t often changed.
