Unica Discover Event Manager Manual
Getting Started with Discover Events
Discover events provide the mechanisms for monitoring mission-critical metrics and other indicators of your web application's performance, including software errors, failures to complete transactions, customer struggles, and more. Through Discover events, IT staff, business managers, and executives can keep tabs on critical aspects of the overall customer experience.
Discover Data Model
Discover Report Builder uses a dimensional data model that is populated by event-based mechanisms to deliver a reporting facility of unprecedented power and flexibility to manage the customer experience of your web application. Events and event-related mechanisms are developed and tested through the Discover Event Manager, which is integrated into the Discover Portal.
Events
When triggered, an event is a situation or condition that is identified in data that is captured by Discover that causes an action. An event definition specifies the hit attribute or other data that must appear in the request, response, or session as a whole.
Event Definitions
Events are a combination of triggers, conditions, actions, and dimensions.

Event Definitions

Events are a combination of triggers, conditions, actions, and dimensions.

The components of an event include:

Trigger - The page- or session-level state at when the event is evaluated.

Condition - The event, session attribute, or hit attribute that is searched for in the session data. If the condition is detected, the event fires, and the specified value or values are recorded.

Action - The data to record and the method of recording. The specification of the action indicates the type of value and the instance of it to record to the database. Event-related data is written to the Short-Term Canister and can be aggregated into the reporting database. Recorded values can be used in reporting or to trigger a condition in a later event.

Dimensions - In addition to the values stored with an event, such as the current value of the shopping cart, an event can store other contextual information available at the time of the event. These contextual dimensions can include values such as the username, the browser type, or almost any data from a tracked data set.
