Amplitude walkthrough

Amplitude is a product analytics platform for web and mobile.

Prerequisites

• Amplitude Connection. If you do not have one, you can create it using Amplitude Connection page.
• Organization Admin or Manager permissions in Amplitude.

Pulling data from Amplitude

Procedure

1. Navigate to the Data Integration console.
2. Search and select the Amplitude connection.
3. Choose Report.

Data Integration can fetch data using the Raw Events report only in Amplitude River. 

Events report

The Events report can include data about both Event Properties and User Properties on each event. 

This report is generated based on running data by dates, so set the Time Period for the report. 

Data Integration manages the increment for the Rivers and fetches incremental data from the source.

Time period

If you choose Custom Range, define the Start Date to run the river. If you do not set the End Date, Data Integration assumes it runs to the current date, as of which the run was executed. Data Integration uses the next end date as the next Start Date in the next run. 

Interval chunks: Data Integration can run over the increment using chunks to make the loading efficient and precise.

The available chunk options are:

• Don't Split: Data Integration will pull the data from the chosen start date to the end date in one bulk.
• Hourly: The river will be chunked hourly from the start to the end date.
• Day: The run will be chunked daily from the start to the end date.
• Week: The run will be chunked weekly from the start to the end date.
• Monthly: The run will be chunked monthly from the start to the end date.

Interval Size: You can also define the interval chunk size.

For example, if you want a 3-hour chunk, set the Interval Chunks to Hourly and the Interval Size to 3.

Reports structure configuration

You can normalize the results. This can increase the number of rows in the returned data.

Enabling this option for large datasets is not recommended.
