This article covers Real-Time analytics and the metrics and data available for live-streaming sessions. As these analytics are based on real-time data, they are not filtered based on time periods or dayparts. The stats are still based on the stations selected.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Stations
Real-time analytics for stations show headline information on the number of stations selected, the number of Active Sessions in progress and the number of Total Sessions Started that have not yet been converted to Active Sessions (i.e. listeners who have been connected for longer than 1 second but shorter than 60 seconds).
Real-time Sessions by Station shows you the number of Sessions Started and Active Sessions per station as well as the percentage each station contributes towards total Active Sessions as calculated in the headline information.
Sessions
Real-time analytics for individual sessions show you headline information on the number of stations selected, the number of Active Sessions in progress and the number of Total Sessions Started which includes those sessions that have not yet been converted to Active Sessions (i.e. listeners who have been connected for longer than 1 second but shorter than 60 seconds).
Real-time Sessions show you information on individual streaming sessions. The data shown includes the station name, where the listener is connected from down to the city, which platform and device they are using and the duration that they have been listening so far.
Clicking on any one of the column headers will allow you to sort the data in ascending or descending order.
Map
The Map view allows you to view the geographic locations of the listeners connected in real-time in Google Maps' Map view or Satelite view. The volume of listeners is indicated in different colours.
 | 1 listener |
 | 2 - 9 listeners |
 | 10 - 99 listeners |
 | 100 - 999 listeners |
 | 1000+ listeners |
You can zoom into each cluster by using the zoom in and out keys on the bottom right of your screen or by clicking on a cluster.
The accuracy of listeners' locations is dependent on many factors, including the use of VPN, their closest network exchange, the database version used by MaxMind, etc. This should always be considered when interpreting location data.
Countries
Real-time analytics for countries show you headline information on the number of countries where your station has been accessed, the number of Active Sessions in progress and the number of Total Sessions Started which includes those sessions that have not yet been converted to Active Sessions (i.e. listeners who have been connected for longer than 1 second but shorter than 60 seconds).
Real-time Sessions by Country shows you the number of Sessions Started and Active Sessions per country as well as the percentage each country contributes towards total Active Sessions as calculated in the headline information.
Clicking on a country name will show you the real-time sessions from the selected country, broken down by region. Again, you will see the number of Sessions Started and Active Sessions per region as well as the percentage each region contributes towards total Active Sessions as calculated in the headline information.
Platform
Real-time analytics for platforms and devices both show you headline information on the number of platforms/devices where your station has been accessed, the number of Active Sessions in progress and the number of Total Sessions Started which includes those sessions that have not yet been converted to Active Sessions (i.e. listeners who have been connected for longer than 1 second but shorter than 60 seconds).
Real-time Sessions by Platform/Device show you the number of Sessions Started and Active Sessions per platform/device as well as the percentage each platform/device contributes towards total Active Sessions as calculated in the headline information.
Devices
Real-time analytics for devices both show you headline information on the number of devices your station has been accessed from, the number of Active Sessions in progress and the number of Total Sessions Started which includes those sessions that have not yet been converted to Active Sessions (i.e. listeners who have been connected for longer than 1 second but shorter than 60 seconds).
Real-time Sessions by Device show you the number of Sessions Started and Active Sessions per device as well as the percentage each device contributes towards total Active Sessions as calculated in the headline information.
Clicking on a device name will show you the real-time sessions from the selected device, broken down by platforms. Again you will see the number of Sessions Started and Active Sessions per platform as well as the percentage each platform contributes towards total Active Sessions as calculated in the headline information.
