​

Monitoring and Analytics Enhancements in 2022.5

​

Editable Display Name for Pivot and Measure

Description The “Name” of each Pivot and Measure can be changed. Examples Pivots Measures Configuration Display Name for KPIs, Pivots & Measures

​

Dynamic Data Security

Description Each individual “fact” in Germain data model can be secured following a rule that the Germain Customer provides. That is generally done in Germain RUM JS’s Init Script (for User Session Replay data) or in a Rule (for other data). Example This client needed to dynamically set the visibility of the User Session that Germain records, so that a Recorded User Session cannot be replayed by any Team but instead only a dedicated Team is entitled to view them, based on the financial stock(s) that was/were being traded in that recorded user session. To achieve this, the client customized Germain RUM JS’s init script with its data privacy logic. Configuration Data Privacy | Germain RUM JS’s init script:

​

Easier Filters

Description Easier filtering capabilities on all 4 dashboard levels. Example Drill-through Dashboard Aggregate and Pivot Dashboards Waterfall Portlet (RCA Dashboard)

​

Editable Drill-through Dashboard

Description A more customizable Drill-through dashboard

• Hide/display graph at the top
• Hide/Display columns

​

”Out of range” KPI

Description This client needed to be alerted whenever a number of its critical business KPIs are out of its acceptable range. Two ways of doing this in Germain: Option 1:Smart Insights Smart Insight is the feature you want to use for this. For this client they had to use the below solution that is available in an older version of germain. Option 2: “In Range” operator “In Range” operator can be used with a Percent-change SLA and a Threshold of -/+30% Example

​

Tag Errors that affect Users (and ignore the million others)

Problem Chat sessions failed at times and no one new about it. Solution Germain has the ability to detect in real-time, the errors that affect users, and ignore the ones that don’t. Errors that are considered critical, can be tagged, analyzed at scale and alert can be sent whenever one occurs, without getting spammed by minor/insignificant errors. Each User Error can be “replayed” so it is easy to understand what the user did BEFORE experiencing it. Automatic analysis of the Error is performed and available on the RCA dashboard, with information like stack traces, etc Configuration Contact us for details how to configure this monitoring.

​

Unique, Returning, New Users

Description These features have been available for years but we noticed customers didnt actually know there were there because of the way we named them! so we now have:

• Unique User
• New User
• Returning User

​

Units

Description Show metrics in appropriate units (rather than showing “seconds” at all times like we used to) Example

​

Viewed Metric

Description On Germain Workspace, any metric you have looked at is tintedwith a lighter color so it is easier to keep track of which metric(s) you have already looked at. Example

​

Dashboard Permissions per Team

Description Germain Administrator now has the ability to define which Team(s) has access to which dashboard. Configuration Manage Team

​

Drill-through from KPI screen

Description Access the Drillthrough screen from the KPI screen to make it easier to connect the dot between the KPI that is configured and the data it produces.
