Relevant to #4502 |
Previously all events would ve listed in one list, irrespective of if they have recent activity. This makes it difficult to find relevent events if you have lots of stale events. This change: * adds a group "Stale events" based on `volume_30_days` being falsy * filters the main "Events" group by `volume_30_days` being truthy Closes PostHog#4791 References PostHog#4502 Note that this also references PostHog#4502 as it achieves the functionality of highlighting which events have had recent activity.

I think we could potentially show these events grayed out and/or with a "stale" label, wdyt @clarkus ? |
Sure, but I think we'll need to describe the freshness of these items a bit more. What if on hover we could show a "last seen" date or something that describes why it's dormant or stale. I don't think we should group by dormancy (at least initially) because it might make it harder to find events. I'd rather optimize for making it easy to find the event. Another option would be alternate sort attributes - for example sorting the list by freshness, alphabetically, most used, least used, etc. |

Because we have everything in tabs, and there are already too many tabs, I wouldn't add another one for "events, but not recently used" as asked the initial task. If we move away from tabs to something else, it'll become an issue again. PR #7426 orders the list by "last 30 day volume", which I think is enough to effectively demote useless events and properties for now. |

Agreed, will only add the indicator, will not separate stale events into their own tab. |
Is your feature request related to a problem?
We for example have 177 events. It's pretty overwhelming trying to find the event you want. Plus it's confusing when you select an event and get 0 results.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd add another category (like 'Suggested for you', 'actions' and 'events' in the screenshot above) called "Dormant Events" that's automatically collapsed. Put every event in here that hasn't had any events in the last 30 days (based on
volume_30_day). Make sure we only do this ifpreflight?.is_event_property_usage_enabled.Describe alternatives you've considered
Additional context
Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!
