We’re excited to introduce a powerful new addition to Embrace’s custom dashboards that will make analyzing and visualizing your mobile data exponentially more powerful: Time Series Arithmetic.
This new feature lets you combine multiple time series data sets within a single chart and perform arbitrary arithmetic operations, unlocking a new level of insight at a glance.
Derive custom metrics and visualize key trends
Have you ever wanted to monitor the rate of crashes compared to the rate of ANRs? Or perhaps track the combined number of a few different traces taking longer than three seconds?

With our new time series arithmetic capability, you can now effortlessly create these calculations and visualize them directly in your dashboard view as easily interpretable graphs.
This new feature now allows you to:
View multiple time series in a single chart: no more juggling between separate visualizations to compare related metrics. With this new feature, you can look at different time series data in one single view for much easier analysis and trend spotting.
Perform arithmetic operations directly on your time series data: write your own arithmetic expressions using different data sets to create totally customized aggregates and ratios. Supported operations include addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), exponentiation (**), and percentage calculation (%). This opens up endless possibilities for building custom formulae for new metrics, ratios, and trends, giving you access to faster and easier analysis.
As an example, you may want to create a custom crash ratio that takes into account both ANR and non-ANR exits. You could do so by combining the two individual time series data sets into one new graph, using the following formula: (Crashes + ANR Session Count) / Sessions.
Improved feedback on query error: creating your own arithmetic expressions can get tricky depending on the compatibility of the datasets you’re using together. So we’ve enhanced our error checks and messaging to help you quickly spot and resolve any issues with your queries.

More to come
Check back as we continue to roll out more functionality for this exciting new feature. As part of our phase two plans for Timeseries Arithmetic, we’re building out arbitrary grouping capabilities, variable abstraction, and pre-built functions to make more advanced analysis even easier and quicker.
If you’d like to get started building your own charts and widgets with Timeseries Arithmetic, just head over to the Custom Dashboards section of your Embrace instance. If you’re not currently an Embrace customer, you can get started for free here.
