Can't I view Real Time users on firebase?

Question

I used to use Admob analytics to view my users activity. There I was able to view real time app running users. Now when I upgraded to the Firebase, I don't find any real time user stats.

Does firebase has real time users stat feature? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There currently is no equivalent to Google Analytics' real time tracking of user information available in Firebase Analytics.

Update (February 2017): Firebase added DebugView to its Analytics product. This allows you to see a near realtime stream of the events from a specific device. Note that (as its name implies) this feature is most useful for debugging whether you have instrumented your code correctly. It is not the same as the realtime analytics in Google Analytics.

Answer 2

You can see realtime users and events at StreamView in Firebase. StreamView shows you who is using your app and what they are doing, in real time. if you properly integrated the Firebase Analytics SDK in your app, StreamView tab will be visible in your Firebase Analytics.

Answer 3

You can now see realtime events in DebugView option at the console. Pretty neat feature, works great. Here is an example: Console

Answer 4

As Frank van Puffelen replied, currently there is no realtime information available in Firebase Analytics dashboard. Until this feature is available your next best option is to enable debug logging as defined in the developer documentation:

iOS: https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/ios/start#next_steps

Android: https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/android/events#view_events_in_the_android_studio_debug_log

When you log event and the event data is uploaded you will see something like this (Android):

I/FA      : App measurement is starting up, version: 9080
I/FA      : To enable debug logging run: adb shell setprop log.tag.FA VERBOSE
V/FA      : Logging event: origin=auto,name=_f,params=Bundle[{_c=1}]
V/FA      : Uploading data. app, uncompressed size, data: com.example.app, 348, 
V/FA      : batch {
V/FA      :   bundle {
V/FA      :     protocol_version: 1
V/FA      :     platform: android
V/FA      :     gmp_version: 9080
...

Latest Update from Firebase Dev Summit from Berlin.Firebase announced Debug view which will display raw data real time updates.

Currently i do not see it in my Firebase console,but hope it will be live for all users soon.
