Hi,
Is there some metric which we can refer to and get average peak users online? Say for server maintainance activity if we want least users to be impacted how would we go about finding least active players online for the day and choose a slot according to that.
Any leads would be really helpful.
Thanks.
PlayFab is based on RESTful API which is stateless. After the successful login, a session ticket is generated and will last for 24 hours. The session ticket will expired when the next successful login or time exceeds.
One suggestion is using Segmentation to manage your players. The Last Login and Last Login(date) conditions in segmentation filer seem to be the most related functions that can help you manage active and inactive users.
Good news is that we have a preview feature named Session online now. It helps PlayFab calculate Focus Time and Session Duration. Please see the Blog here and our documentation provide a simple tutorial here. For now, it only supports Unity engine.
Hi... Thanks for replying but this doesn't serve the purpose... I guess my question was not clear.
What we want to know is when the game has peak number of users online. Is there a way we can find that out from PF analytics? Just to understand when the users are playin more games.
This helps us understand when not to push out a force update or introduce breaking changes.
Have you tried the Dashboard --> Overview in your Game Manager? you can also change the time period in the overview to see the statistics about players' api calls, cloud scripts calls, logins and so on in different time ranges. Detailed statistics will also show up when you hover over the charts.
For advanced tools, we suggest Snowflake. It provides database that records every PlayStream event that has generated by your title, and enables users to craft custom SQL query to manage data. Please see Introducing Data "Sharehousing" with Snowflake. For more details please also check here.
In addition, there is an upcoming data explorer tool that can provide detailed data analysis on your titles. Please keep track of PlayFab update news in our community.
