ECO provides a robust set of metrics to enable application performance monitoring and user behavior analysis across your web and native applications. Metric values appear as time series and distributions in metric widgets, and alongside dimensional values in the dimension drill-down tables. Selecting different metric widgets changes the metrics in the dimension tables. All metrics are calculated during the selected time interval. ECO supports several metric types:
-
Metrics associated with user flows: helps in the identification of crucial moments in user journeys to optimize applications and improve the user experience. For example, consider the metrics corresponding to the flow from searching for a video to successfully playing it.
-
Custom metrics associated with initial and follow up events: ECO enables three types of custom metrics.
-
Duration Metric: Measures the time interval between two events, such as the duration between the login screen event and the login success event.
-
Conversion Metric: Measures the count or conversion rates of events from one stage to another, such as the count of sessions with successful login after opening the login screen.
-
Event Aggregation Metric: Measures the number of events, or calculates the value of event attributes, such as the average duration of network requests.
-
Metric Builder provides templates for guided metric creation, cloning existing metrics, and building metrics based on specified settings.
An ECO session starts when any system or user-defined event is received and ends after 90 seconds of inactivity.
Metrics can span a specific interval or a complete session.
-
Session Metrics: Metrics based on data from events that occur throughout sessions that end within the selected time interval, for example App Video Bounce Rate metric from sessions that ended yesterday. If a session starts before the selected time interval but ends within it, the data for that session is still considered for the calculation of the session metrics.
-
Interval Metrics: Metrics based on data from events that occur within a specific interval during sessions, for example, Total Events, the cumulative count of mapped events occurring within a specific interval during sessions.
In addition to the metrics designed by Conviva to optimize your analysis, ECO supports a custom metric builder so you can create customized metrics based on your specific requirements. For more details, see Metric Builder.
Secondary Metric
As primary metrics, Conviva uses a proprietary combination of native and web applications events to provide a rich set of application performance and experience metrics. The Conviva ECO Sensor supports events, such as page_view and network_request.
Selecting a metric widget in ECO also displays a secondary metric that provides a context or related data to help you more completely understand the primary metric. Secondary metrics enhance the interpretation and analysis of primary metrics.
Secondary metrics display in the dimension panel after clicking a metric widget in the metric panel, for example Ended Session Count displays as a secondary metric for App Video Bounce Rate.

Custom Events |
|
Use mapped events to build metrics. |
Metrics based on the mapped events appear in App pages. |
|
Video Seek Events: For example, to track and analyze user behaviors when seeking videos, map the custom events seek_forward, seek_backward, seek_bar_dragged_forwards, and seek_bar_dragged_backwards to an event User seek action.
|
|||
|
App Login Events: For example, to track the user login behavior and analyze the login success rate, map the event button_click with the tag key button_click_element_text and the tag value Log in to an event Login Button Click.

Conviva video events (conviva_video_events) are also available using abbreviations as tag keys.
