Analytics and Logger

IBM MobileFirst™ Analytics gives a rich view into both your mobile landscape and server infrastructure. Included are default reports of user retention, crash reports, device type and operating system breakdowns, custom data and custom charts, network usage, push notification results, in-app behavior, debug log collection, and beyond.

IBM MobileFirst Platform Server comes pre-instrumented with network infrastructure reporting. When both the client and server are reporting their network usage, the data is aggregated so we can attribute poor performance to the network, the server, or the back-end systems.

Two client classes work together to send raw data to the server: the web logger class and the web analytics class. The logger functions as a standard logger. In addition, we can control which logger data is accessed and used by analytics by defining filters both on the client side and on the MobileFirst Analytics Server.

You choose the verbosity and data retention policy of the reported events. Set conditional alerts. Build custom charts. Engage with new data.
