Start from the New Integration+ → Google Analytics Real-Time ASM Menu

Step 1: Add the GA Real-Time Check

• Add a Name and Description

• Add Tags for easier sorting, categorization, and grouping

Step 2: Command and Location

Enter the View ID: This is your specific Google Analytics Account ID. The format is ga:{View ID} example ga:12345678

Select the Metric:

• Active Users: How many visitors were active on your site over a given period of time. The active users report in Google Analytics helps you understand your website's (or mobile app’s) retention rate. It reports on how often visitors come back to your website over a certain time period.

• Page Views: Page view measurement allows you to measure the number of views you had for a particular page on your website. Pages often correspond to an entire HTML document, but they can also represent dynamically loaded content; this is known as "virtual pageviews."

• Screen Views: Screens in Google Analytics represent content users are viewing within an app. The equivalent concept for a website is pages. Measuring screen views allows you to see which content is being viewed most by your users and how are they are navigating between different pieces of content.

Step 3: Set Interval, Thresholds & Monitor Groups

• Polling Interval

For all the thresholds, there are these types

• Baseline Constant: A constant, fixed, Threshold.

• Average: A dynamically calculated Threshold based on the Average of the check’s returned value. ASM will look at the specified period of time (2-1440 Hours. 1440 Hours = 60 Days) and calculate a Threshold value based on the percentage of the average returned value plus the offset (of the Returned Value) value specified by the user.

  The example shown: 150% of the average returned value for the last two hours plus 50 offset.

• Median: A dynamically calculated Threshold based on the Median of the check’s returned values. ASM will look at the specified period of time (2-1440 Hours. 1440 Hours = 60 Days) and calculate a Threshold value based on the percentage of the median returned value plus the offset (of the Returned Value) value specified by the user.

  Example shown: 120% of the median returned value for the last two hours plus 0 offset.

• Standard Deviation: A dynamically calculated Threshold based on the Standard Deviation of check’s returned values. ASM will look at the specified period of time (2-1440 Hours. 1440 Hours = 60 Days) and calculate a Threshold based on Standard Deviations (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, or 10) plus the average returned value for the period of time plus the offset (of the Returned Value) value specified by the user.

  Example shown: Two Standard Deviations plus the average value for the last two hours plus 10 offset.

• High Warning Threshold: If the returned value from the check passes over the High Warning Threshold, it will trigger a Severity change of the check Warning (Yellow).

• High Error Threshold: If the returned value from the check passes over the High Error Threshold, it will trigger a Severity change of the check Error (Orange).

• Low Warning Threshold: If the returned value from the check drops below the Low Warning Threshold, it will trigger a Severity change of the check Warning (Yellow).

• Low Error Threshold: If the returned value from the check drops below the Low Error Threshold, it will trigger a Severity change of the check Error (Orange).

• Monitor Group(s): Select what Groups these checks will be reported under. If you have many Monitor Groups, enter a few letters of the group name(s) to filter down the list.
