I need an example Data Feed output file

Question

We are in the process of setting up an internal datalake which will receive a Data Feed from Adobe Analytics. The engineers need an example of what the Data Feed output will look like (ie. a sample version of hit_data.tsv).

I cannot create and export my own test data feed because we don’t yet have a destination set up to send it to. I also cannot find a sample file anywhere in the Adobe documentation nor elsewhere on the internet(?!).

Google’s AI Mode suggest it will look something like this (ie. tab-delimited and with a header row), however I want to confirm this as I don’t fully trust AI yet. Also what value appears if the column is empty - will it actually be empty of will something like NULL appear?

hit_id hit_source event_list post_evar1 post_prop1 visit_num timestamp
1234567 1 100,101 'home_page' 'banner' 1 1677657600
8901234 1 200 'product' 'sidebar' 1 1677657605

Can someone provide a sample file? (dummy data is fine)

Thanks

Hi Darrin,Your data feed will basically berows of data with the column headers of the values you selected when you set up the feed, so how you have the example in your post, except there won’t be quotes around the values.If a value is not present, the field is left completely empty. The tab delimiters are still included to preserve the column position, so an empty value is represented by nothing between two tabs, rather than by NULL, 0, or any other placeholder.Hope this helps.Dan
