Event Visibility currently only supports Simon Signal ingestion

We are working to add more event ingestion pathways to this tool such as Database triggers, events sent to our Event Ingestion API, and more!


Rejected events

Current Limitations

The product only supports the first 100 events from the time the connection is established. The connection will auto-disconnect upon the 100th event on the page.

Currently, the only drop down that is supported is the Event Name drop down. This drop down contains all of our accepted event types.
