Tracking Video View

[CommunityUser]

Hello,

We had instrument our SharePoint environment (Windows Server).

Everything works fine.

I get also a business transaction from one Page (Subsite from Intrnaet), for example:

http://zintranet/services/it-sec

I get all requests from this page over EUM and I made a dashboard, with requests per minute.

Also fine.

Now my question:

On this page there are two webparts, they stream two different .mp4 videos.

Thoose videos are not storted at SharePoint SQL Server, no, they are stored at another Windows IIS Web Server because thoose videos very big.

I can download the videos from every browser, with URL: htp://zvideo/intranet/sec.mp4

Also the download - stream works at SharePoint.

Now I want to treck, how often this videos are seen from our users.

I tried also to instrument the IIS Server (store the two videos).

The server and application is listed at AD but I get no business transaction when SharePoint open the videos or I open the video directly at Browser.

I don't know, how can I treck the mp4 videos, to count, how often they are viewed from our users.

I hope somebody understand my question and can help me 🙂

Thanks,

Horst

Hi Horst,

.Net Agent can only instrument .Net Applications. Since in your case the files are just hosted on IIS, no .Net runtime is involved when these files are requested and hence you do not see any BTs.

I don't think we can get any information by instrumenting the site hosting these mp4 files.
I think we will need to capture this info via EUM only until it can be captured at SharePoint Server side.

One idea can be to add Custom User Data to a Page Browser Snapshot when ever user requests the video

Let me know if you have any questions or I mis understood your question.

Thanks,
