How to divide session?

Hi, everybody!

I am an iOS engineer. We are using AppD recently, but there are some things that I am very confused about. So I put forward feedback and hope someone can help answer it.

As shown in the picture above, the red frame in the upper right corner of the picture.

My questions are as follows:
1. What does "49 of 54 Sessions for this Agent" mean here?
2. When I click the arrows before and after the red frame text, the page can be switched to view different logs, so how are the contents of the current page and the next page divided? What does the log of the current page represent?
3. How is the cycle of a session calculated? Because I don't see the code for the relevant session in the code.
4. What does a session mean? How is it divided?

Hope someone can answer it, Many thanks.

Best regards.

Hello and thanks for bringing your question here.

There are some ways to control user session. This page has some example code.
https://docs.appdynamics.com/appd/24.x/24.7/en/end-user-monitoring/mobile-real-user-monitoring/instr....

Basically sessions by default starts when your app starts, and close when the user closes the app. During this period, we capture user activity events like user clicks, touches and etc everything is recorded and attached to your session. The idea is to track an entire user interaction block. For example, i open my bank app (session starts), go to balance, check the value and close the app. This is a very simple session and it contains maybe a single click. If i do this again tomorrow, you will get a new session. I like to think as "Sessions per Agent' as "Sessions per device". hope it helps!

Hi @kare.peng,

That link seems to be broken and also links to an old version of AppDynamics. Can you confirm what Controller version number you are using?

Here is the most recent documentation for this feature: https://docs.appdynamics.com/appd/24.x/24.7/en/end-user-monitoring/mobile-real-user-monitoring
