Analytics
The operational analytics feature enables searching across apps, services, devices, and other sources to collect data about usage or detect problems.
MPF includes a scalable operational analytics feature that is accessible from the operations console. The analytics feature enables enterprises to search across logs and events collected from devices, apps, and servers for patterns, problems, and platform usage statistics.
The data for operational analytics includes the following sources:
- Interactions of any app-to-server activity (anything supported by the MobileFirst client/server protocol, including push notification).
- Client-side logs and crashes.
- Server-side logs that are captured in traditional MobileFirst log files.
The operational analytics feature is accessible from the operations console and includes these capabilities:
- Interactive web-based usage.
- Dashboard view
- These features include interaction support to see the full device usage across the platform for the last 30, 60 or 90 days. We can drill down to specific apps and app versions.
- Devices view
- View device information, including session activity, network activity, and JSONStore analytics. Search is provided to view information about a particular device.
- Adapters view
- View information about adapters such as invocation frequency and network latency. We can drill down to a specific adapter or procedure.
- Servers view
- View analytics information about individual servers in a cluster. Download server logs.
- Activities view
- View analytics data on custom activities created with the client-side logging features.
- Search view
- Provides a text search for client and server-side logs. Allows filtering by application, version, environment, severity, and so on.
