title: Impression data
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
:::info Availability
|
|
The impression data feature was introduced in **Unleash 4.7**. Listening for events requires [an SDK that supports impression data events](../sdks/index.md#server-side-sdk-compatibility-table). Currently, it's only supported in the [Unleash Proxy client](../sdks/proxy-javascript.md) and [React Proxy client](../sdks/proxy-react.md).
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
Unleash can provide you with **impression data** about the toggles in your application. Impression data contains information about a specific feature toggle activation check: The client SDK will emit an **impression event** whenever it calls `isEnabled` or `getVariant`.
|
|
|
|
Impression data was designed to make it easier for you to **collect analytics data**, **perform A/B tests**, and **enrich experiments** in your applications. It contains information about the feature toggle and the related [Unleash Context](../user_guide/unleash-context.md).
|
|
|
|
Impression data is **opt-in on a per-toggle basis**. Unleash will not emit impression events for toggles not marked as such. Once you've turned impression data on for a toggle, you can start listening for impression events in your client SDK.
|
|
|
|
## Impression event data
|
|
|
|
There's two types of impression events you can listen for:
|
|
|
|
- [`isEnabled` events](#example-isenabled)
|
|
- [`getVariant` events](#example-getvariant)
|
|
|
|
The `getVariant` event contains all the information found in an `isEnabled` event in addition to extra data that's only relevant to `getVariant` calls.
|
|
|
|
This table describes all the properties on the impression events:
|
|
|
|
| Property name | Description | Event type |
|
|
|---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------|
|
|
| `eventType` | The type of the event: `isEnabled` or `getVariant` | All |
|
|
| `eventId` | A globally unique id (GUID) assigned to this event. | All |
|
|
| `context` | A representation of the current [Unleash Context](../user_guide/unleash-context.md). | All |
|
|
| `enabled` | Whether the toggle was enabled or not at when the client made the request. | All |
|
|
| `featureName` | The name of the feature toggle. | All |
|
|
| `variant` | The name of the active variant | `getVariant` events only |
|
|
|
|
### Example `isEnabled` event {#example-isenabled}
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
eventType: 'isEnabled',
|
|
eventId: '84b41a43-5ba0-47d8-b21f-a60a319607b0',
|
|
context: {
|
|
sessionId: 54085233,
|
|
appName: 'my-webapp',
|
|
environment: 'default'
|
|
},
|
|
enabled: true,
|
|
featureName: 'my-feature-toggle',
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Example `getVariant` event {#example-getvariant}
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
eventType: 'getVariant',
|
|
eventId: '84b41a43-5ba0-47d8-b21f-a60a319607b0',
|
|
context: {
|
|
sessionId: 54085233,
|
|
appName: 'my-webapp',
|
|
environment: 'default'
|
|
},
|
|
enabled: true,
|
|
featureName: 'my-feature-toggle',
|
|
variant: 'variantA'
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Enabling impression data
|
|
|
|
Impression data is strictly an **opt-in** feature and must be enabled on a **per-toggle basis**.
|
|
You can enable and disable it both when you create a toggle and when you edit a toggle.
|
|
|
|
You can enable impression data via the impression data toggle in the admin UI's toggle creation form. You can also go via the [the API, using the `impressionData` option](../api/admin/feature-toggles-api-v2.md#create-toggle). For more detailed instructions, see [the section on enabling impression data in the how-to guide for capturing impression data](../how-to/how-to-capture-impression-data.mdx#step-1).

## Example setup
|
|
|
|
:::caution
|
|
This functionality is currently only supported in the [Unleash Proxy client](../sdks/proxy-javascript.md) and [React Proxy client](../sdks/proxy-react.md).
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
The exact setup will vary depending on your [client SDK](../sdks/index.md). The below example configures the [Unleash Proxy client](/sdks/proxy-javascript) to listen for impression events and log them to the console. If "my-feature-toggle" is configured to emit impression data, then it will trigger an impression event as soon as Unleash is ready.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const unleash = new UnleashClient({
|
|
url: 'https://eu.unleash-hosted.com/hosted/proxy',
|
|
clientKey: 'your-proxy-key',
|
|
appName: 'my-webapp',
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
unleash.start();
|
|
|
|
unleash.on("ready", () => {
|
|
unleash.isEnabled("my-feature-toggle");
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
unleash.on("impression", (event) => {
|
|
// Capture the event here and pass it internal data lake or analytics provider
|
|
console.log(event);
|
|
})
|
|
```
