Adobe Media Analytics (3.x SDK) Tag Setup Guide
This article describes how to set up the Adobe Media Analytics (3.x SDK) tag in your Tealium iQ Tag Management account.
Adobe Media Analytics provides support for tracking video and ad metrics, including total views/impressions, time spent, and completion rates.
Tag Tips
- Adobe Media Analytics requires the Adobe Experience Cloud ID Service as well as AppMeasurement for JS to be loaded first, preferably bundled.
- This tag is fired via
utag.track('video', data);which should be implemented in your video event handlers.
Tag Configuration
First, go to the tag marketplace and add the Adobe Media Analytics (3.x SDK) tag (Learn more about how to add a tag).
After adding the tag, configure the following settings:
- Tracking Server: Adobe Media Analytics tracking server. This field is required (
example.hb.omtrdc.net). - Publisher: Publisher name as provided by Adobe. This field is required.
- Use SSL: Specifies whether or not to send heartbeat calls over HTTPS. The default value is false, meaning SSL is disabled. Set the value to true to send tracking calls securely.
- S-Object Name: Required. Set your own custom s-object variable name. Use defaults if not sure.
- Video Platform Name: The name of the online video platform through which content gets distributed. This field is optional.
- Video Player SDK: The version of the video player app/SDK. This field is optional.
