What problem does it solve?
Helps support and analytics engineers rapidly determine root causes for missing or inaccurate web analytics in PostHog by guiding a systematic investigation of event ingestion, SDK setup, session attribution, and discrepancies with other analytics tools.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Event ingestion checks: Verify presence and volume of $pageview, $pageleave, and autocapture events to detect SDK or capture failures.
- Installation and SPA diagnosis: Identify common SDK misconfigurations, router integration gaps, and framework-specific client navigation issues.
- Attribution and accuracy analysis: Troubleshoot missing UTM data, channel misattribution, ad blocker losses, and session or bounce-rate anomalies, and compare results with Google Analytics.
- Search for known bugs: Run targeted GitHub issue searches and consult live documentation to surface product bugs or required SDK versions.
- Use case: Triage a ticket reporting zero pageviews or inconsistent traffic versus GA and produce a prioritized checklist and recommended fixes.
