Concurrent users

Hi,

How can I calculate concurrent users in Adobe Analytics? I have the number of users by hour for last 30 days.

Thanks

I think you will face a challenge here, as this relates to some backend server measurement against front end user behaviours:

Concurrent users on your web server relates to typical Concurrent user nodes the server allows at max at any one time. So lets say a max of 25000 users concurrently are on your server, then user 25001 tries to access site he would reach server busy message. This is a limit at any one time at once.

In analytics the closest I recommend you use to that metric is unique visitor. You can then break it down by hour and make a close assumption to your IT team its close to concurrent user max. It will be lower than their limit as this is an hourly breakout.

Dear Ankit,

Agree with

Even we do have minute granularity to understand the traffic inflow per minute to understand the concurrence.

Thank You
