What is the expected delay for event tracking to appear in the dashboard?

[Deepak Kumar]

Hello!

    I made the switch to UA yesterday. With GA, I found events would show up in the dashboard (e.g. in Top Events) near real-time (within a minute or two of being sent at most). With UA, I sent a number of events yesterday afternoon, and a few more this morning, and none are visible in the dashboard (yet?). I've verified that UA is correctly installed (i.e. tracking Status: Receiving Data), and that page views are being recorded (and reported on near real-time).

    Is there an expected delay in event tracking? If so, when should I expect to see them in the dashboard?

Thanks!

Deepak.

Hi I've got the same problem (only I'm waiting since saterday (3 days). I can execute any textbook example I can find nothing will show up in the realtime console (or even the behaviour reports)

Things I tried:

ga("send", "event", { eventCategory: "category", eventAction: "action", nonInteraction: true });

ga('send', 'event', 'category', 'action', {'page': '/my-new-page'});

ga('send', 'event', 'QuestionTypes', 'multiple choice');

Nothing seems to work, did anyone succeed in using events with the UA?

Thanks a lot,

Koen

Hi Koen

Firstly the event syntax is incorrect, it should be
ga('send', 'event', 'category', 'action', {'nonInteraction': 1});

Then I'd check whats being sent or if it's being sent even, using firefox and httpfox or for any browser with charles debugger.

in the httpfox, you should see the call highlighted as event and ni as 1.

the event variables would be ea(event action), ec(event category), el (event label).

Then confirm by looking at real time data.

If it doesn't appear in real time data, check your filters.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
