It is clear from the documentation that I can add custom metrics for a custom event.

How do I view these metrics in the Pinpoint console? From the Pinpoint console, it is obvious how to view attributes. I can go to Analytics > Events, select my custom event, and narrow down the events to whatever attributes I desire. I am asking about how to view metrics. To be clear, these differ by being continuous values whereas attributes are discrete. The documentation says that I can do this. See below how I can filter by attributes manually: (attribute is circled)

See the docs on custom events here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/latest/developerguide/integrate-events.html

Similarly, creating a funnel only allows filtering for attributes. How can I filter for metrics?

Thank you for your time!

When I first asked this question, AWS had the ability to record metrics with the Swift SDK, but not view them in the Pinpoint API, which is absurd, because then you can only record metrics. What's the point? I asked in the AWS forums, and a couple months later, they responded something along the lines of "Please wait - coming soon."

This feature is now available, whereas before it simply wasn't.

Go to Pinpoint, your project, then click the Analytics drop-down menu, then click events. You can see that you can sort by metric. If you look at my outdated screenshot above, you'll see that this was not an option.

  • I also use custom event reporting. Did you find any better way to analyze the event details?For example, import the event record to database and query it with sql. – dragonfly Dec 01 '21 at 14:56
  • Hopefully someone can help you - I don't know the answer because I stopped using Pinpoint @dragonfly – Joshua Wolff Dec 01 '21 at 17:25
