Segments

Saved filters on Log data for tracking

Segments are saved filters on Log data corresponding to a specific behavioral signal discovered manually or from an Insight.

All Segments are computed and published to the Segments Dashboard as part of the DBNL Data Pipeline and adapt future analytics by informing DBNL that the saved Segment is a meaningful bifurcation of the Logs data.

When to Create Segments

Create a segment when you've identified a meaningful behavioral pattern you want to track over time, such as:

  • Error conditions: Logs containing specific error types or failure patterns

  • High-value interactions: User sessions with purchases, conversions, or key actions

  • Quality issues: Low-scoring responses that need monitoring

  • User cohorts: Specific user groups (power users, new users, etc.)

  • Performance bottlenecks: Requests exceeding latency thresholds

Once saved, segments are automatically analyzed in future pipeline runs, generating dedicated metrics and appearing on dashboards.

Creating Segments

Segments can be created in three ways:

  1. From an Insight that specifies a Segment corresponding to the behavioral signal observed

  2. Anywhere a filter is constructed on the Explorer or Logs pages

  3. Manually from the Segments page on the sidebar

Segments can be modified or deleted from the Segments page on the sidebar.
