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 Types
Discover supports two types of events, standard and canister.

Event Types

Discover supports two types of events, standard and canister.

Standard Event: A typical event is triggered based on pattern data that is detected in the capture stream.

Canister Event: Associated with each session in the Canister, Discover maintains a set of events that track useful session-related information for you. These events cannot be configured. You can create alerts that are based on them.

Through the Discover Event Manager, you can create events.

An event can also be a combination of one or more other events. For example, if the visitor received a specific error code and completed a purchase, you can record the occurrence of that event. You can create an alert that is based on an event firing. Alerts deliver information to Discover users in one of multiple formats.
