Analytics

Video tutorial: watch on YouTube

The session log report is a detailed list of all the visits to your site, starting with the most recent ones. It shows you the key facts about your visitors, like where they’re from, what devices they use and if they’re new or returning. Additionally, it presents details about their session, like the channel through which they found your site, the goals they accomplished and the specific things they did while browsing. It’s a fantastic resource to really understand how people interact with your site in a detailed way.

In this article, we’ll explain how to access and work with the session log report.

Before you start

Here are a few helpful things to know before you start:

  • The session log report doesn’t show real-time data. The data appears after 30 minutes to one hour after the visitor ends the session. If you want to see real-time sessions, go to the tracker debugger.
  • You can apply one segment at a time to this report, but you can’t compare segments.
