Access
PubNub Insights can be accessed through Admin Portal. Once you log in, click Insights on the sidebar.
If this is your first time using PubNub Insights, you must select an app, a keyset, and your use case(s) from the dropdown list.
Once you have chosen the app, the keyset, and the use case(s), click the Go To Insights button, the Snapshot dashboard for this app and keyset will automatically load, giving you access to the Insights Standard version.
If you want to change the version to Insights Premium, click the Upgrade button.
Use case selection
Settings
PubNub Insights automatically provides a set of four 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.
High-level aggregated dashboards have the default names of Account dashboard and App dashboard that you cannot modify.
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 activating Insights 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.
