Analytics Events 2.0 in Assurance

The Analytics Events 2.0 provides a richer view of SDK events to users debugging and validating their Adobe Analytics implementation. The view shows events sent to Adobe Analytics from the Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network SDK as well as the Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDK. The view also features a details panel, which provides context on how the event was processed by the client SDK and by the upstream services after it left the device.

Getting started

To use this view, complete the following steps:

  1. Set up Adobe Experience Platform Assurance.
  2. Create and connect to an Assurance session.
  3. In the Assurance UI from the left navigation Home view menu, select Analytics Events 2.0 (Beta). If you don’t see this option, select Configure in the bottom left of the window, add the Analytics Events 2.0 (Beta), and select Save.

Analytics Edge view

Use the Analytics Edge view if you are using Edge Network or Edge Bridge mobile extensions. This view is enabled when the “Analytics Edge (Beta)” toggle switch in the top right corner is activated, displaying the Analytics events sent via Edge network in your current session. This includes all events that have been fired by Lifecycle extension, Edge extension, and/or Edge Bridge extension.

The Analytics Edge view contains information on Analytics-related Edge events and Lifecycle events dispatched by the client. By choosing an event in the list, the event detail view panel on the right displays the events that were processed by the client SDK and by the upstream service after they left the device. This allows you to easily view the chain of events that resulted from a call.

The Post-Processed Data event in the list confirms that the data has been successfully processed and sent to the Adobe Analytics. If this event or any processed data is missing, users can expand each event in the list to view detailed debugging information.

Post-processed status

After the SDK makes a network request with Adobe Analytics, the status will tell you if Assurance was able to retrieve the post-processing information for the Adobe Analytics request. The Analytics Events view must remain active while the post-processing status is in operation after the request has been triggered.

Please note that in order to retrieve post-processing information, the logged-in user must have access to the corresponding report suite.
