Monitoring Analytics and Logs

Monitoring Analytics with Image Flow

For any user friendly Application, displaying analytics in a dashboard is essential for providing real-time insights into user behavior. It helps in making data-driven decisions, identifying trends, and optimizing application performance. Dashboards enhance transparency by visualizing key metrics, making it easier for stakeholders to monitor progress. Additionally, they improve efficiency by reducing the time needed to analyze raw data and detect potential issues.

In Image Flow, we offer this feature by providing a dashboard where users can view analytics, presenting detailed insights into their activities within the application.

Some of the key data presented to them are;

Total time taken for each upload job initiated
Data processed, measured in bytes
Total number of images uploaded
Number of products updated

In the home page of the Image Flow application, you would see an UI similar to the one shown below

You will see various data visualized with some insightful charts and Graphs.

Users can view all these metrics for a selected time interval, which can be adjusted by clicking on the date selector in the information bar below.

Users can choose from seven time intervals to view image upload activity for a specific period:

a) Today – Displays analytics from midnight to the present time.

b) Yesterday – Shows analytics for the entire previous day.

c) Last 7 days – Provides insights from the past 7 days.

d) Last 30 days – Displays analytics for the past 30 days.

e) Last 90 days – Covers data from the last 90 days.

f) Last 360 days – Shows analytics for the past 360 days.

g) Custom interval – Allows users to select any two dates to view analytics for a specific period.

The dashboard displays analytics in two main sections.

a) The Aggregation data - Which shows the aggregated specifics for the time period you choose, like,

Data Processed – The total amount of data processed by the application, calculated as the sum of the sizes of all images you have uploaded.
Images Uploaded – The total number of images uploaded.
Image Exported – The total number of Image Exported.
Total Time Saved – The time saved using Image Flow, compared to manually selecting and uploading images for each product individually, which can be tedious.
Products Updated – The total number of products that have been updated.

b) Data on Charts - A donut chart displays the status of image upload jobs, showing the number of successful and failed upload jobs. Additionally, two graphs visually represent trends over time:

one showing the number of images uploaded and exported,
another depicting the number of products updated, and
a final graph representing the amount of data processed (in MB).

The Graphs display data on an hourly basis when the selected time period is "Today" or "Yesterday" and on a daily basis for all other time intervals.
