Channels Dashboard
The Channels dashboard provides more detailed analytics about unique channels in your Publish/Subscribe API.
Channel Groups
The Channels dashboard does not include channels that are part of channel groups.
The Premium dashboards display metrics in hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly time periods, while the Standard dashboards display hourly metrics.
Top 20 Channels based on one of the following:
- Number of messages
- Number of subscribers
- Number of users with messages
Unique counts
Note that the top 20 channels are unique counts and cannot be summed. You must select a single hour/date.
Insights & BizOps
PubNub Insights is integrated with BizOps Workspace, letting you export channel data and view it in the Channel Management section of BizOps Workspace.
Export data
If you have access to BizOps Workspace and have App Context enabled on your keyset, you can send channel data from PubNub Insights to BizOps Workspace.
To do that, click the Export to BizOps button to create the top 20 channels in Channel Management.
Required Admin Portal roles
To successfully export data to BizOps, you must have the Bizops Objects Operator role assigned to your account in the Admin Portal alongside the PubNub Insights role.
After exporting the channels, the data is saved in App Context and displayed in Channel Management.
The imported channels have:
- The name that is the same as the ID imported from Insights
- The
importedvalue assigned to thetypefield - The
sent_messagescustom field with the fixed number of messages published at the time of the import (criteria used for importing the top 20 channels).
Any PubNub Insights channel data already present in App Context is skipped during the import to avoid duplicates.
View data
You can view the details of individual channels from the Top 20 Channels table in Insights by clicking the arrow next to the channel name.
The Channel Management page opens up in BizOps Workspace with the details of the channel you selected to check.
