Understanding usage analytics in Squadbase

What is Analytics

Analytics is a feature that analyzes user access to your project. It visualizes access to the Production environment, allowing you to understand your application's usage patterns.

Key Features

  • Production Environment Tracking: Tracks access to the production environment only
  • Page View Analysis: Displays daily page view counts in graph format
  • Period Selection: Flexible period settings including weekly and monthly views
  • Sorting Functionality: Display data sorted by activity level

Important Notice

Production Environment Only: Analytics tracks access to the Production environment exclusively. Preview environment access is not included in analytics data.

Understanding the Data

Interpreting Page Views

What is a Page View:

  • The number of times users have viewed a page
  • Each page view by the same user is counted separately

How to Read the Graph:

  1. Check Trends: Monitor daily increases and decreases in access
  2. Identify Peaks: Understand when access is concentrated
  3. Detect Anomalies: Sudden changes may indicate issues

Use Cases

1. Understanding Access Status:

  • Monitor access increases after new feature releases
  • Measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns

2. Early Problem Detection:

  • Sudden decrease in access → Potential service outage
  • Unusual patterns → Signs of issues

3. Usage Trend Analysis:

  • Access trends by day of the week
  • Usage patterns by time of day

Tips & FAQ

Q: Can I see access to Preview environments?

A: No, Analytics tracks the Production environment only. Preview environments are for development and testing purposes and are not tracked.

Q: Can I see real-time data?

A: Data may have a slight delay. If you want to check the latest data, please reload the page.

Q: Can I perform more detailed analysis?

A: Squadbase's standard Analytics provides page view data. If you need more detailed analysis, consider integrating third-party tools such as Google Analytics into your project via Import from GitHub.

Q: Can I export the graph data?

A: There is no direct export function in the current screen. Consider taking a screenshot or implementing external analytics tools as needed.

Q: The access count shows 0

A: Possible causes include:

  • The project has not been deployed yet
  • There is no access to the Production environment
  • Data reflection is taking time

Best Practices

  1. Regular Monitoring: Make it a habit to check access status regularly, such as once a week
  2. Post-Deployment Checks: Pay attention to changes in access counts after new deployments
  3. Immediate Response to Anomalies: If you notice a sudden decrease in access, immediately check the Logs tab for errors
  4. Analyze Different Periods: Check not only weekly but also monthly trends to understand long-term patterns

Summary

The Analytics feature makes it easy to understand your application's usage status. Regular monitoring and early detection of anomalies help maintain and improve service quality.

For more detailed analysis, we recommend combining Analytics with external analytics tools.
