What are Metrics?

With Metrics, you can track key interactions and KPIs on your site or application. Metric can be one of those types:

  • Sessions - Count of sessions

  • Unique Users - Count of unique users in sessions (e.g. how many users registered last month)

  • Events - the number of times the selected event happened (e.g. how many times users clicked on the signup button)

The definition of metric can include filters that narrow the input data for the metric.

The result of the Metric can be displayed as:

  • Trend - Displaying the sum of sessions, users, events, or properties over a period of time. The interval of this metric depends on the time range. For a single day, metric shows values in hourly intervals, for days (up to 30) in daily intervals, and for more than 30 days in weekly intervals.


  • Number - A single number representing the count of sessions, users, events, or properties. For time-based properties, the unit is also presented.

  • Dimensional - List of the most accurate values grouped by the selected property. For instance, count of console errors grouped by country, system, or browser. Dimensional metric shows up to 10 top values.


Combining Metrics with Sessions

The sessions list applicable to Metrics, will be provided below the data visualization. You can click on the play button to navigate to a session.

Using Aggregate Functions in Metrics

With the Aggregate feature, you can easily calculate key statistics for both custom events and session properties:

  • For Events: Calculate the sum, average, minimum, and maximum of event properties.
    Example: You can calculate the total value of subscribed plans by using a custom event that tracks subscriptions. Ensure the event includes a property defining the subscription's price.

  • For Sessions: Perform aggregation on session properties such as duration or the number of clicks.
    Example: Calculate the average session duration or the total number of clicks across sessions.

For more details on how to add custom events and properties, please visit Custom events guide.


Adding Metrics to Dashboards

You can effortlessly add your Metrics to Dashboards in LiveSession, significantly improving your data visualization and analytical capabilities. This feature empowers you to neatly organize and compare various metrics, tailoring the dashboard to your specific needs and preferences. By consolidating your chosen metrics on one dashboard, you streamline your data analysis process, enabling quicker insights and more informed decisions.
