Version 2.0

1. Preface

Kony MobileFabric Integration Service App Services portal allows you to generate application reports,
delete an application and application's services, and configure settings.

You can select an application's services and delete them from the Kony MobileFabric Integration
Service Admin Console portal.

Kony MobileFabric Integration Service

The existing on-premises Kony MobileFabric Integration Service supports the feature of outputting a
message to a JMS queue for each service request. Kony provides a log deamon Java process that will
read from that JMS queue and insert the data into the Kony MobileFabric Integration Service
database. A customer can query this data directly or use a reporting.war file provided by Kony
that connects to this data and provides a visual representation of the data.

One key feature added for Kony Cloud analytics is a client side library that resides in the app binary
that manages the sessionID of the application. It contains the business logic to generate a sessionID
and rotate that sessionID if the app is closed or if the app is idle for more than thirty minutes.

Another key feature added for Kony Cloud analytics is a client side API to set the Kony User ID. This
value is then set to the Kony MobileFabric Integration Service and associated to the session. This
enabled the Kony Cloud analytics to also accurately track unique users based on userID defined by
the developer. This enables extremely accurate user tracking for apps running on the Kony Cloud that
aligns with your business definition and charging definition of app users.

Kony MobileFabric Sync

© 2015 by Kony, Inc. All rights reserved 1 of 34


1.  Preface Kony MobileFabric Integration Service Admin Console User Guide
Version 2.0

The existing on-premise Kony MobileFabric Sync server does not output analytics to a JMS queue.
Instead, it maintains its own database and exposes usage reports within the Kony MobileFabric Sync
Console.

With cloud enabled for Kony MobileFabric Sync, a new capability is added to output a message to a
JMS queue on every request and to output a daily summary email of current Kony MobileFabric Sync
usage that included the number of apps, users and devices being serviced. These messages are only
generated when Kony MobileFabric Sync is running in the Kony Cloud.

It is not in currently in scope to support the Kony MobileFabric Sync metrics created for Kony Cloud in
an on-premise configuration at this time. However, the on-premise metrics database design should
consider this future requirement.

1.1 Purpose

This document explains the terms and concepts in the Kony MobileFabric Integration Service Admin
Console and also provides procedural information to perform various tasks in the Kony Studio.

1.2 Intended Audience

This document is targeted at developers who will use the IDE to write and develop applications.

4. Using Basic Reports

After the application is deployed, you can view the following statistics of an app:

1. App Usage: The intent of this report is to display app usage in used sessions and in users. The
users are based on the developer using the setKonyUserID() method. If the setKonyUserID()
method is not used, then the report should count unique deviceIDs and consider each unique
device as a unique user.

2. Requests per Service: This report shows the total requests to each serviceID associated with
the application.

3. Requests per Form: This report shows the total requests to each form in the application

4. Sessions per Device: The Sessions per Device report provides the total sessions categorized
by Platform, Channel and App Type.

5. Service Duration: View the total number of calls per application service including the min,
average and max time taken.

6. Service Duration Detail: View average service call duration as a stacked bar showing the time
taken for each phase of the service call.

Along with these type of reports, you can also generate the following legacy reports on the new data.

6.  Using Custom Metrics Kony MobileFabric Integration Service Admin Console User Guide
Version 2.0

6. Using Custom Metrics

Custom metrics is a feature of Kony MobileFabric Integration Service Admin Console that enables an
application developer to capture custom data from an application and build reports using the data. In
addition to reports, the application developer also receives access to a set of standard metrics that are
gathered from the application like the platform channel to use in building custom reports. This feature
is available to any application deployed to Kony MobileFabric Integration Service.

The Kony MobileFabric Integration Service Admin Console enables a user to define custom metrics.
Administrator can view Custom Metrics under Reports tab:

l Custom Metrics - enables users to add or delete metrics that they intend to send from the
application. The Custom Metrics page shows a list of applications deployed to Kony
MobileFabric Integration Service. If a user deploys an application to Kony MobileFabric
Integration Service, it appears in the Custom Metrics page.

6.1 Prerequisites

Following are the prerequisites for creating custom metrics: 

1. An application deployed to Kony MobileFabric Integration Service.

6.  Using Custom Metrics Kony MobileFabric Integration Service Admin Console User Guide
Version 2.0

6.2 Defining Custom Metrics in Kony MobileFabric Integration Service


Admin Console

The Custom Metrics page allows an application developer to define the metrics for an application.
Each metric is identified by a key that has to be unique within the application. There are six types of
data: String, Boolean, Long (Integer), Double, Date, and Timestamp. The page shows all applications
deployed to Kony MobileFabric Integration Service. To add custom metric parameters for an
application, under Custom Metrics tab in the Reports section of the application, click on + Add Custom
Metric button.

For applications that already have custom metrics defined, clicking on Add + will show the list of
Parameter Names, Data Type, and Default Aggregation function.

The application can send multiple key-value pairs that will be stored as custom metrics for reporting
purposes. The user must register each key sent by the application and provide the Data Type and
Default Aggregation values.

To create a custom metric, follow these steps: 

1. Click Add Custom Metric. The following pane appears.

2. Enter a name in the Name (key) area. Each metric is identified by a key that must to be unique
within the application. The application code must use the same Name for sending data in the
key-value pairs in JSON string . The key is case insensitive.
