My iOS app is creating events with a performance based metric. I see this added to the eventsFile and it also appears in the "Custom Events" tab.
However, I cannot create a custom chart that lets me track these metrics. Is this possible, and if so, how?
Unfortunately this functionality is not available out of the box within the Amazon Mobile Analytics console.
As a work-around you could enable auto-export to S3/RedShift and generate the visualizations you're interested in externally.
I suggest having the S3 export enabled at all times, and enabling the RedShift export when needed.

I am looking for a way to fetch data to my flutter app which can be adjusted and modified dynamically after deploying the app. As an example, if I want to change the images of the carousel depending on promotions or launch new books to the digital library. I need an economic option to host the data in cloud storage and fetch it from there.
I have considered firebase as well as google drive, but have yet to find a good guide. being a beginner and having concerns about security I want some expert advice if possible.
*edit-
Seeing many a tutorial I assume there is no better way than linking file URLs from the
Cloud Storage. So to dynamically change those is it possible to refer the URLs to some excel sheet fields to obtain URLs. Those fields can certainly be adjusted then without any hard coding. but the question is how to refer to such a sheet file? *
I also want to segregate the users into paid and free users, I have successfully proceeded with the authentication with firebase but still don't understand(I do have some concepts but don't know where to do that) how to put them in groups and impose limitations on them about accessing the data. any guidance, links and helpful advice will be cordially appreciated.
According to what you are looking for, I highly recommend you to use Firebase Remote Config, which is a cloud tool that allows you to modify your app's functionality and appearance without forcing users to download an update. You define in-app default values that control the functionality and appearance of your app when you use Remote Config. Then, for all app users or for subsets of your user base, you may utilize the Firebase console or the Remote Config backend APIs to modify in-app default values.
Your program can control when updates are applied, and it can check for updates regularly and apply them with minimal performance impact.
Remote Config comes with a client library that takes care of essential functions like fetching parameter values and caching them while still allowing you to manage when new values are active and how they affect the user experience in your app.
Here is a tutorial that uses Flutter and Firebase Remote Config that could also help you.
I created charts in MongoDB Charts, but do not know how to use those charts in my web application. Are there ways to publish MongoDB charts to a link where everyone can access without logging in?
Many thanks
Are there ways to publish MongoDB charts to a link where everyone can access without logging in?
In MongoDB Charts version 0.10 , there is no way to publish charts into external web site/application.
In regards to permissions, that would include setting read role on the chart's data sources for everyone too. See also Charts Dashboard Permissions
UPDATE:
Now you can use the Embedding feature to render the charts in an external web application. When you embed a chart, you can choose whether you want it to be Unauthenticated (meaning anyone who has the embed code can view the chart), or to use Verified Signature authentication (which checks the integrity of a signature in the URL before the chart will render). See Charts Embedding Examples for more information.
My action just got deployed on Google Assistant. Many users have used it, but still, I can't see analytics for it on my actions console. Where am I going wrong?
It seems like some metrics are only available after few days like data in "Discovery" tab. For other tabs normally there are directly available even during developing phase.
Some analytics data are also available in the Dialoglow console if you use it.
The time taken to load the charts(visualization) using tableau in my mobile app is close to 10 or 15 secs. So i am looking for alternative methods like creating my own chart but only to use the intelligence tableau provides on creating the visualizations.
In short, i want to know whether there is some support or API available from tableau using which i can draw the visualizations by myself in my mobile app without losing any chart data or functionality like digging deeper in charts.
For example, an API from tableau using which i can create the chart in my mobile app. After creating it, if user touches any data that should be sent again to tableau to get further event action like showing filters/tables etc.
Is this even possible? I did lot of research in tableau and got to know about tableau SDK, tableau API's, tableau extensions etc. but unable to find what i am looking for.
Tableau provides a thorough white paper Designing Efficient Workbooks. I would start by reading that and trying some of the recommendations.
If you are looking for an API driven visualization system, you can check out MuzeJS.
You load your data in an in-browser DataModel, run relational algebra enabled data operators to get the right subset of data, and then just pass to Muze engine, which automatically renders the best visualization for it.
It is similar to the kind of intelligence Tableau provides but since it is a developer first API, you can customize as you want, whether it be for the mobile or the desktop. In fact, most of the charts will be available for both seamlessly.
Any changes to data (including application of data operations) automatically updates the visualization, without you having to do anything else.
Add to that, if you’ve to connect multiple charts (for cross-interactivity, drill-down etc.), you’ve to manually write the ‘glue’ code. With Muze, all charts rendered from the same DataModel are automatically connected (enabling cross-filtering). It also provides composability and the ability to facet your visualization, providing a multi-grid layout.
You can go through some of the examples and the documentation to see if it suits your needs
I'm trying to follow this guide: https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/IoT/GA_information_management/ga_im_index_scenario.html#scenario
But as soon as I hit "Manage Schemas" in the device type section I get an "Internal Error", saying I should contact the Admin... I'm not able to create schemas. What's going wrong?
Thanks in advance!

It is not entirely clear what you are trying to achieve. If you are simply trying to retrieve the raw events that have been published by your device, then you need to use a URL for the form:
/api/v0002/device/types/{deviceType}/devices/{deviceId}/events/{eventName}
This is documented in the Watson IoT Platform API reference.
It is worth noting that, if this is all you are trying to achieve, you do not need to follow the guide that you referenced. It is possible to retrieve the raw events using the REST API simply by defining the Device Type and registering your device.
The guide that you referenced describes the Data Management capabilities of the Watson IoT Platform. These capabilities allow you to process the raw events in order to generate/compute state for the device. This is more involved than simply retrieving the raw events because you need to configure schemas for the events and the state and then define the mappings that tell the platform how to compute the properties on the state when an event is received. The computed state for a device is a different resource and needs to be retrieved using a different URL:
GET /api/v0002/device/types/{typeId}/devices/{deviceId}/state/{logicalInterfaceId}
This is documented here
It's a little confusing, but that Manage Schemas section of the UI is not related to the feature you're looking at as part of the guide you referred to.
The guide you're looking at outlines how to configure event schemas and logical interface schemas for a Device Type using REST API calls. If you wish to create this configuration using the web UI, this is possible too but you need to get to the Interfaces section from the Device Types view: see this image
In this case, I clicked on the Humidity Sensor Device Type and then, in the expanded view, clicked on the Interface tab. From there you can use the Simple or Advanced flows to create the configuration.
The reason for the error is because the component that provides the function on that page (Real time insights) is not present in the eu-de region. The page should not be present but for some reason is.
If you are planning on following that guide then this is a different part of the UI from the “manage schemas” page, and is located under the “interfaces” section in “device types”. The function defined in that guide is available in eu-de.
