Sending analytics

To see client-side analytic data in the MobileFirst Analytics Console, send analytics to the MobileFirst Analytics Server by calling the send method.

Before you begin

Ensure that you enabled the capturing of relevant events. For more information, see Capturing analytics.

About this task

Once events are captured by the client, send them periodically to the server. Sending captured analytics to the server can be done explicitly or periodically. The following example shows how to send analytics at 1-minute intervals. Sending data at regular intervals ensures that you are seeing up-to-date analytic data in the MobileFirst Analytics Console.
