Analytics Overview

XWidget Cloud collects analytics data from your deployed apps automatically. The xc analytics commands let you query this data from the command line to understand how your UI is performing in the field.

Event Types

XWidget Cloud tracks four categories of events:

Event Type What It Measures
Downloads Bundle downloads from the content server — how often each version is fetched by client apps
Renders Fragment render events — how often each XML fragment is displayed to users
Errors Fragment errors — render failures and parsing errors with error messages
Transitions Page transitions — how users navigate between top-level fragments

CLI Namespace

All analytics commands live under xc analytics:

xc analytics downloads
xc analytics renders
xc analytics errors
xc analytics transitions

Analytics commands require authentication. Run xc cloud login first.

Common Options

All analytics commands share a set of filtering and aggregation options:

Project Resolution

Option Abbr Description
--workspace -w Workspace to query
--project -p Project to query (defaults to current project)

If --project is not specified, the CLI resolves the project from xwidget_cloud.yaml in the current directory, just like the cloud commands.

Time Range

Option Abbr Description Default
--range -r Query the past N days 7

Allowed values: 7, 14, 30.

Aggregation Interval

Option Abbr Description Default
--interval -i Aggregation granularity daily

Allowed values: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly.

Note

The transitions command does not support --interval. Transition data is aggregated over the entire range.

Dimensional Filters

These filters narrow results to a specific segment. All are optional.

Option Abbr Description
--channel -c Filter by channel name
--version -v Filter by version number
--platform -t Filter by device platform
--locale -l Filter by device locale (user's region setting)
--country Filter by country (geolocated from the device's IP address)

Allowed values for --platform: android, ios, linux, macos, windows, web.

Note

--locale and --country are distinct dimensions. --locale matches the country code from the user's device region setting, reported by the SDK. --country matches the country the server geolocated at the time of the request. These can differ — for example, a traveler whose phone is set to en-US visiting France will report US for locale and FR for country.

Note

Short-form abbreviations vary slightly by command. -t for --platform is available everywhere except transitions, where -t is reserved for --to. -n for --country is available only on errors and downloads. Per-command pages list the correct short forms for each subcommand.

Some commands have additional filters specific to their event type. See the individual command pages for details.

Output Format

By default, commands display results as a formatted table. Filters that you specify on the command line are displayed as a header above the table, and the remaining dimensions appear as table columns.

If no data matches your query, the CLI reports that the query returned 0 rows.
