Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Recommendations

Your query strategy varies based on your business size and scope. Also, your query strategy must adapt as your business grows. To stay current, follow our App Analytics query recommendations for small, medium, and large-sized partners.

In the unlikely event of data delays, we regenerate data for log events that happened up to 30 days in the past. To ensure that you consistently retrieve the most complete data, we recommend that you schedule catch-up queries that look back 30 days.
