Event groups

An event group can be perceived as a "dimension" associated with analytics events. For example, associated with an event might be the fact that the event was generated from somebody using a Chrome browser, in which case "browser" is an event group. It's often natural to use event groups for aggregation and/or filtering purposes. E.g., continuing the browser example, we might want to find out the top 5 most popular types of browsers, or we might want to see how much traffic we have from Chrome users.

The table below lists the currently available event groups.

Unless otherwise stated, all names and values are case-sensitive.
