Hi @bps_jeongwonsik

Unfortunately that’s not yet a feature.

Could you give us a use case for why you might want to disable automatic events?
Are you wanting to rely on something else to determine session length?

Thanks to reply.
We are using custom event because We need to get some specific value,
So we don’t need a automatic event.

You can safely ignore the automatic/standard events in your case. They are used to help define the user metrics on your dashboard.

Hi,
Do automatic events count towards our 25M events quota?

Haha yes I was thinking the same.
The gameRunning event is just a secret trick to get to the 25M quota faster isn’t it?
There should be an option to disable it.

Hey @avrahamy1 please open a new thread on the forum for questions like that in future.

@Tommie060708091011

Standard events are counted towards your billing with the exception of:

  • gameRunning
  • transaction
  • transactionFailed

@Julian-Unity3D Hi we also need to disable all events for certain build configurations.

The reason being we ship our product on platforms that disallow such network traffic, please advise on how we can disable ALL network traffic from UGS Analytics.

Thanks in advance~

I’m a Unity developer that develops for Meta Quest that uses Unity Gaming Services. The Meta Developer Dashboard already shows key metrics like DAU, MAU, Retention, and session time. I need to use Unity Analytics to keep track of Unity Economy virtual purchases and for this use case alone, so it would really be helpful to be able to turn off unnecessary analytics tracking.

Hey Rainbie,
We don’t have an option for disabling or editing the standard events at this time: but rest assured their presence / absence doesn’t impact billing, and querying of your custom events shouldn’t be impacted by their presence.

If you’re wanting to query on specific events, this should be possible using our tools like Data Explorer and SQL Data Explorer for building reports.
Let us know what you’re struggling with and we’ll see what we can do :slight_smile:
