Conviva Connect

 

Conviva Connect enables the scheduled delivery of Conviva data, including content and ad session-level information for every video play or attempted play in a given day, identity data based on streamID.

In the data file, the Conviva session data fields include metadata, such as viewerID, and metrics (aggregated from event logs), such as Playing Time. The session time span is from the moment the client starts the session until the client terminates the session. The Conviva Connect file contains the snapshot of each session at the end of the day.

Supported data storage destinations, such as databases, data lakes, and data warehouses, include Google Cloud Storage(GCS), Amazon S3 storage, and SFTP.

Note: To include the Conviva Household ID in your content and ad summary data, reach out to your Conviva representative.
