Asayer records everything that happens when a user visits your website.

Every user interaction (click, scroll, frustration etc.) as well as all the behaviour from across your stack (backend, frontend, network activity, redux states etc.) is captured and indexed into a powerful search engine.

Now upgraded, the Asayer Search makes it even easier to find specific sessions or issues, without ever needing to involve your users.

Here’s how it works

Clicking on the search field opens up a menu of options where you can search through all the possible events indexed by Asayer. You can find filter for sessions by issue, interaction, by user condition and other data. You can even find specific actions such as a user clicking on a particular object, or a certain page visited.

Let’s take a look at a quick demonstration:

In the following GIF, you can see me perform a Search for unusually slow sessions. I simply open up the menu and click on the Slow Sessions options.

This shows me all the sessions in the past 7 days that have experienced performance issues. I can, if I want to, look at sessions over the past month, up to the past year. As you can see, the sessions that come up indeed have a performance issue.

But it doesn’t stop there.

From here, you can create funnels, digging even deeper into more complex issues. For example, you can look for every session where a user Clicked on the “Find Session” button, using a Device running on MAC OSX and where that user had a Click Rage (i.e. a frustration wherein the user repeatedly clicks on an area of the screen).

That way, you can find complex scenarios, monitor specific funnels or find that one complaining customers’ session before they can put another ticket in.

This new search allows you to look for issues, specific users and anything else within clicks. Troubleshooting has never been easier !
