Event consumption graphs

Consumption graphs and reports let you monitor your usage.

You can view graphs made with:

• the “New events” calculation method.
• the “Retention events” calculation method.

Alternatively, you can download a comprehensive report

Calculation methods

Synerise offers two modes of event calculation for consumption metrics:

• New events - events that are added to the database every day.
• Retention events - the average number of events already saved in the database every day. The events are stored in the database according to their retention period, which differs between event types and may differ between workspaces.

In both methods, UTC time is used to determine what day an event belongs to.

New events

The “New events” chart counts each event that is processed by Synerise, including events generated automatically by the SDKs and backend.

Events are counted according to the time they were added to the database.
For example, if an item was sold at an offline cash register on September 30 and the transaction.charge event was imported to Synerise on October 1 when the cash register came online, the event is counted towards October.

Retention events

The “Retention events” chart counts the average daily number of events stored in the database, including events generated automatically by the SDKs and backend.

The events are counted in the following way:

1. Every day at midnight (UTC), Synerise checks the number of events in the database.
   This may include events from earlier months, according to their retention period.
   Events overwritten with eventSalt are treated as one event, unless the original event was already deleted due to retention.
2. The number of events is added to the monthly total.
3. At the end of the month, the monthly total is divided by the number of days in the month.
   The result is the average daily number of events in the database.

The Consumption report shows the retention of each event, in days. -1 means the events are stored infinitely.

Graph

You can view event consumption as a graph, which can be filtered by event type, date, and workspace.

1. Sign in to Synerise.

2. Enter an organization.
   If you can’t see any organizations next to the workspace list, it means you don’t have access to an organization.

3. Go to Statistics.

4. In the Filter events section, choose the data to show.
   By default, the graph shows all event types, from all workspaces, according to the “New events” calculation method, from the first day of the current month until today.
   

   

   
   If you want to change the data scope, you can:
   • Narrow down the workspace selection with the Workspaces list.
   • Narrow down the event type selection with the Event list.
   • Change the calculation method between New events and Retention events.
   • Set a different date range.

   

   In the graph, each column (default view) is one day. If you change the date range to be more than a month, the view changes to monthly.
   Under the graph, the legend informs which color denotes which event.
   By hovering your cursor over a column, you can view the exact numbers.
   The table below the graph shows a part of the data. To see the full table, you can use the Download XLSX option, and for a more detailed report, see Comprehensive consumption reports.
