Exploring Web analytics live traffic
The Web analytics Live tab (/web/live) shows real-time activity over a 30-minute sliding
window plus a 60-second "users online" count. It is the place to answer "what is happening
on my site right now?" — pageviews, named bots, devices, geo, top paths, top referrers, and
a live event feed.
This skill teaches you (the agent) how to:
- recognize a request that belongs on the Live tab
- read the tile model (what each card shows, where the data comes from)
- manipulate the only filter that exists (host)
- build product-analytics insights that match a Live tile when the user wants longer time ranges or deeper drill-down than the live window offers
The Live tab is not a HogQL playground — its data comes from a livestream backed by short HogQL backfills. When the user wants to query "right now" data with HogQL, point them at the tab; when they want historical breakdowns, build an insight with the patterns below.
