Configuration
Configuring Unica Discover involves setting up and managing Discover user authorization and configuring Discover server components and services that process captured data.

- Unica Discover Event Manager Manual
  - Discover Event Manager
    Unica Discover Event Manager provides the user interface for defining the event objects used to monitor your visitors' sessions. Here you can configure the events, hit attributes, dimensions, session attributes, alerts, and deviations to monitor customer success and struggle with your web application.
  - 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.
  - Manage Events - Events Tab
    Through the Events tab in the Discover Event Manager, you can define, edit, test, and organize events to monitor specific conditions in your visitors' sessions. Discover events provide a flexible and powerful mechanism for tracking at the most granular level what is happening during a visitor's session.
  - Manage Events - Hit Attributes Tab
    When processing hit data, the Discover event engine searches each hit for patterns of text. These patterns can signify an event of interest, such as the occurrence of the word Sorry in the response, or can bracket a text string of interest, such as the value of a form field. These patterns can be explicitly specified or can be defined using the start and end tags for which an event should look when evaluating a condition or setting a value.
  - Manage Events - Dimensions Tab
    Through the Discover Event Manager, you can specify data dimensions to track metadata associated with an event. They can be considered the contextual data captured at the moment of event execution.
  - Manage Events - Session Attributes Tab
    A session attribute is a pre-defined variable that is persistent throughout the life of a Discover session. Session attributes may be used to store various data that may be referenced by events at any point during the session.
  - Manage Events - Alerts Tab
    Through the Discover Event Manager, you can define alerts that are triggered based on Discover events or Anomaly Detections. When threshold values are detected in the related event or Anomaly Detection, an alert is generated and delivered in the appropriate format to the designated recipients.
  - Manage Events - Anomaly Detection Tab
    Through the Discover Event Manager, you can indicate the events, dimensions, and ratios whose variations you wish to track over time. Through the Anomaly Detection tab, you can track the metrics that are major anomaly detections on your site.
  - Manage Events - Import-Export Tabs
    Through the Import and Export tabs, you can export a set of selected event definitions and all supporting data objects from your current system and import a set that has been exported. Import/export controls enable the easy migration of event definitions from a development environment to testing and staging environments.
    - Export Tab
    - Import Tab
  - Event Tester
    Integrated into the Discover Event Manager, the Event Tester enables you to test active events and hit attributes, even if they are saved in draft mode, against sessions that you upload to the server. This integrated tool provides a quick method for validating the event objects you define before you deploy them into the live transaction stream.
  - Advanced Mode for Events
    In Advanced Mode, you can review and modify the actual JavaScript™ function that is called to process the event.
  - Event Administration
    The section provides an overview of how events are initially installed and stored in the database and later updated based on changes in the Discover Event Manager.

Exporting selected objects

About this task

The selected object export method allows you to export specific events and event objects, as well as all dependent objects required to make the selected items to work. This exported set of definitions can then be imported into another system for use.

In this manner, you can develop event-related objects in a Development environment, export them, and then import them into a Testing or Production environment for use. To export selected items, complete the following steps.

Note: You must commit any unsaved changes to an object to the server to include the changes in the exported object. If the object is a new object and was not saved, it is not included in the export, and references to the object are reported as errors.

Procedure

In each tab of the Event Manager, right-click the objects that you want to export and select Export Item. The item is queued in the Export tab for export.
Note: You do not need to select dependent items. For example, if an event references a report group that contains a set of dimensions, you do not need to select the dimensions for export. The Event Manager automatically includes all required dependent items for each selected event object.
- Alerts cannot be exported. For more information about the supported event objects, see Exported data objects.
- To remove an item for export, click the Export tab. Then, click the X next to the item you want to remove for export.
- To remove all items from the export list, click the Export tab. Then, click Remove All.
- Items that are selected for export are automatically cleared if you log out of the Portal. All items must be reselected for export when you log in again.
When you have selected all items you want to export, click the Export tab.
- To review and edit the set of objects that are selected for export, click the Selected Items tab.
- To review the dependent objects of the selected objects, click the View Dependencies tab.
To export the selected items, click Selected Objects.
- To export the entire set of events and event-related objects that are supported for export, click All Objects.
Save the generated file to your local desktop.
The exported file can be imported into another system through the Import tab, as needed. See Import tab.
