Content Analytics not populating tracked events

RaghavSh

Hi Have installed "Content Analytics" and related plugins but "Tracked Events (sn_cda_tracked_evt_agg)" are not getting populated.

 

I am able to get the "Tracked Pages (sn_cda_tracked_page_agg)" data daily but Tracked Events are not there even when I have tried events/actions on OOB widgets on EC pro portal over last couple of days.

 

Since I am using OOB EC pro portal, it should track the events without any configurations.

Please note - 

Usually (unless it's a valid business case) when scheduling content from campaign you would not have schedule content for the content in content publishing, that just means you are scheduling two deliveries.

 

Here are the summarized steps - 

  1. Create a campaign with tracking on and tracking profile selected, profile must be active. Please refer -  How to configure a campaign 
  2. Campaign must have Campaign Targets populated so that content is delivered to them
    • Run Scheduled job > Content Experiences: Update Campaign Audience or it runs every hour 
  3. After campaign targets are added, if campaign has non-portal contents (ex to-do or email), each non-portal content must have Targeted Content populated
    • Run Scheduled job > Content Experiences: Add Non-Portal Campaign Content or it runs every 4 hours
  4. After targeted content is added to each non-portal content, you would run 
    • Content Experiences: Create To-dos (for to-do content) or it runs every hour
    • Content Experiences: Send Email Notifications (for email content) or it runs every hour
  5. Once this is done, content will be delivered based on their schedules
  6. Impersonate users from campaign targets and perform tracked actions on the content scheduled through the campaign and redirect to some other page so browser buffer is flushed to server side buffer  (or it will be automatically flushed approximately in 5 mins), then wait for approximately 15 mins or more. All the tracked events data is queued (first in browser buffer then in server-side buffer). Refer Content Analytics Data flow 
  7.  After step 6, if you want to see analytics data immediately, there are jobs (profile triggers) that push the data to the content analytics tables. You can run these jobs from Scheduled Jobs (Content Publishing Profile and Content Experience Profile), this will trigger import.

  8. After profile import is finished, campaign should start showing analytics data

**Note - All of this is automated through scheduled jobs, detailed steps here are only added to help understand the flow.

I want to know the below, please check and advise with its implementation! PFA

Can Content Analytics be used to track how many times users click on the button configured for announcements and carousels in ESC portal?
