Settings​

PubNub Insights automatically provides a set of five dashboards for each keyset, and you can give it a meaningful name and description. By default, the set of dashboards inherits the name of the keyset it belongs to.

The Account and App dashboards have default names that can't be modified.

The User Behavior & Devices and Account & App dashboards aren't available in Insights Standard.

Dashboard Info​

Dashboard Info lets you update or edit the Use Case with the keyset. By default, the use case that you've chosen while accessing Insights the first time is assigned to all keysets on your account. If a keyset has a different use case from the others, you can change this setting in this section of the Dashboard Settings.

Messages​

Messages Configuration allows you to change the data behind the analytics in your Messages dashboard.

If “In-app Chat” is one of the use cases selected and you used the default PubNub messages JSON schema, then the Messages dashboard automatically shows the following two metrics:

  • Top 10 Message Types
  • Count of Message Type that is Chat

If your implementation does not use the default PubNub JSON schema or you don't use PubNub for an in-app chat, then your Messages dashboard will have empty charts that can be populated by providing the JSON path for the two metrics listed above or other items you want to track.
