This document provides an overview of the Events and Attributes used for media monitoring in New Relic.
This section defines the key terms used in the context of New Relic Media monitoring:
- videoAction: Events triggered by general video interactions, such as starting, pausing, or seeking.
- videoAdAction: Events related to ad playback, such as starting, completing, or skipping an ad.
- videoErrorAction: Events triggered by errors encountered during video or ad playback.
- videoCustomAction: Custom events defined to capture specific actions or interactions beyond default event types.
An Attribute is a piece of data associated with an event. Attributes provide additional context or details about the event, such as the video’s title, duration, or playback position.
- Most attributes are included with every event.
- Some attributes are specific to certain event types, such as ad-related data sent with ad events.
