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.

  - 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.
  - 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.

Hit Attribute Groups panel

In the left column of the Hit Attributes tab, you can review the hit attribute groups that were created or provided by Discover. In parentheses next to the hit attribute group name, you can see the number of hit attributes currently stored in it.

To review details on a hit attribute group, move the mouse over it. The tooltip is displayed.
During installation, Discover provides a set of hit attributes. To see the hit attributes provided by Discover, click the System Hit Attributes group.

Filtering hit attributes

To filter the list of hit attributes in the Hit Attribute Groups Panel, enter a string in the Filter Hit Attributes textbox. The filter is applied in real time to display only the matching hit attributes.

Leading and trailing blank spaces are not removed from the filter.

A hit attribute group is used to organize one or more hit attributes under a common heading. Hit Attribute groups have the following properties:

Column: Description
