  - Discover Event Manager
    HCL 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.

    - Events and DOM Capture
      Discover Eventing works for both full DOM and Network capture. However, the resulting metrics and reporting data that is generated from an Event definition can be effected by the capture type (full DOM versus Network) used.

    - 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.
  - 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.
  - 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.
