Analytics
Horde implements HTTP endpoints to collect telemetry data sent by Unreal Editor. This data can provide insights into bottlenecks and workflow issues that a team and the Horde dashboard can aggregate and chart it to highlight improvements and regressions over time.
The Getting Started > Analytics guide explains how to configure a project to send telemetry data to Horde.
Telemetry Stores
Horde supports multiple orthogonal telemetry stores, allowing you to group telemetry data for different projects as you see fit. Each telemetry store has its own set of metrics, and the dashboard allows switching contexts to view the same charts using data from different stores.
To send data to a particular telemetry store, include the telemetry store name in the APIEndpointET property
in the project's DefaultEngine.ini file. The engine store uses the following URL, for example:
APIEndpointET="api/v1/telemetry/engine"
Metrics
To provide efficient aggregation of analytics data over large time periods, Horde aggregates telemetry events into
running metrics for each time interval. This aggregation is performed according to rules specified in the
Telemetry.Metrics section of the globals.json file (see MetricConfig).
Charting
The Horde dashboard render charts showing metrics collected on the server. These views are configured
using the Dashboard.Analytics section of the globals.json file (see TelemetryViewConfig).
Telemetry Sinks
Horde can collect raw telemetry data in its own database as well as forwarding it to other telemetry sinks.
You can configure telemetry sinks through the Telemetry property in the server's
Server.json file. It is not necessary to configure a telemetry sink
in order to compute metrics from aggregated data.
