Data management for Top Movers

The Top Movers feature enables you to flag the events and dimensions whose deviations you want to track over time. Instead of monitoring the values themselves, Top Movers and corresponding reports can be configured to monitor the changes in values, so that you can focus on the biggest movers and most important metrics in your Discover operating environment.

In Discover environments with many events and dimensions, however, it can be challenging to identify the events and dimensions whose changes are important to monitor. Through the Portal, you can enable the automatic creation and tracking of Top Movers. By monitoring the Top Movers that are most active across all of your events and dimensions, you can enable Discover to alert you on what is important to monitor in your tracked web application.

At the time that this feature is enabled, a Top Movers is created for each active and reportable event and dimension in the system, and tracking for each of them is also enabled. Top Movers are created and enabled for all later created events and dimensions, too. With automatic Top Mover creation, you can automatically monitor these changes in value of any tracked event or dimension at any time.

Top Movers are created through the Discover Event Manager. For more information about creating Top Movers, see Manage Events - Top Movers Tab.
After the Top Mover data was collected and calculated, it is immediately available for reporting and can be highlighted in one of the available reports for all top movers.

Note: Enabling this option in an environment with many events and dimensions can affect system performance and storage. This section provides information and approaches to managing data for Top Movers.
